Regex Match Visualizer
Visual regex testing with color-highlighted matches and capture groups.
About this tool
Test regular expressions with instant visual feedback. Paste your pattern and test string to see every match highlighted in a distinct color. Capture groups are shown in contrasting shades within each match. A match details table lists position, value, and named or numbered groups for every hit. Toggle flags (g, i, m, s) with checkboxes. Switch to Replace mode to preview the result of String.replace. A Quick Reference panel provides common patterns (email, URL, phone, date, hex color, etc.) with a one-click 'Use' button. RegExp errors are displayed immediately with a clear message.
