Regular expression tester

Flags
 

Online regular expression tester (regex calculator) allows to perform various regular expression actions on the given text:

  • Highlight regexp - highlights parts of the text that matches the regular expression.
  • Extract regexp - extracts matching parts into a table with each regexp group as a column.
  • Replace regexp - replaces matching parts of the text with given string. Group expressions (e.g. $1) are allowed.
Regular expression calculator supports flags like global match (perform regex action on the whole text instead of the first occurrence), ignore case (case of the provided text will be ignored) and multiline match (perform regex computation across the line boundaries).
