Regular expressions (regex) are a powerful tool used in programming for matching patterns within text. Our Advanced Regex Tester Tool is designed to help developers, data analysts, and anyone working with text data to test, debug, and understand regex patterns efficiently. With a user-friendly interface and support for JavaScript-compatible regex, this tool simplifies the process of working with regular expressions.

• Real-Time Matching: Instantly see results as you type your regex pattern and test string.
• Group Highlighting: Color-coded groups make it easy to identify capture groups in your matches.
• Preset Examples: Quickly load common patterns like email, phone numbers, and URLs to get started.
• Download Results: Save your matched results to a text file for further analysis or sharing.
• Comprehensive Flag Support: Toggle flags such as g (global), i (case-insensitive), and more.
