Regular Expression

Multiple Strings

Test each line with the regex separately.

What Is a String Regex Tester?

This web application checks whether the given string matches the given regular expression. If so, it prints "true", if not, it prints "false". You can enter a regular expression in the options. The standard regexp format is "/pattern/flags", where flags are optionally "g", "i", "m", "s", "u", and "y". The "g" flag looks for all matches, the "i" flag makes matching case-insensitive, the "m" flag enables multi-line mode (in this case the multi-string option, described below must be disabled), the "s" flag makes the dot regular expression character match the newline character (in this case the multi-string option, must also be disabled), the "u" flag enables Unicode support, and the "y" flag enables sticky matching. When entering a regular expression, you can also skip slashes and flags and just enter "pattern" for easier and faster use. If you want to test several lines at once, use the multi-string option. It shows the status of each entered string on each line. Stringabulous!

String Regex Tester Examples

Test a Spoofed String

This example tests the authenticity of a string. It checks whether all letters belong to the English alphabet. This is done using the regular expression /^[A-Za-z ]+$/. Here, "^" denotes the beginning of a string, "[A-Za-z ]+" corresponds to uppercase and lowercase letters of the Latin alphabet as well as a space character, and "$" denotes the end of a string. Surprisingly, the result of the test is false. It's because this string is not authentic and contains Unicode homoglyphs. Instead of the English letter "a", there's a fake Cyrillic letter "а".

Check Binary Values

This example tests binary values. It activates the multi-string mode to get the status of all input numbers at once. It uses the regular expression /^[01]+$/g, which accepts only the digits "0" and "1" in a string. It is easy to see in the output that the 2nd, 6th, and 8th values are not binary numbers because they contain the English letters "I", "o", and "l".

111011 110I00 001000 111000 000011 0101o0 010011 100l11

Find All Cats

In this example, we use a simple regular expression /cat/ to find all lines containing the word "cat". As the input strings have randomized cases, we add the "i" flag to the regex. With this flag, the search is case-insensitive and the strings "CAt" or "caT" satisfy the pattern "cat".
