Frequently Asked Questions

Which regex flavor is used?+
JavaScript's โ€” the flavor of web development. Most patterns are portable, but lookbehind and some Unicode features differ across languages.
What do the g, i, m flags mean?+
g finds all matches instead of just the first, i ignores case, m makes ^ and $ match at every line boundary.
Why does my pattern match too much?+
Usually greedy quantifiers โ€” .* grabs as much as possible. Add ? for lazy matching (.*?) or use a more specific character class.
Is live testing safe with my data?+
Yes โ€” matching runs entirely in your browser. Test against real logs or data without anything being uploaded.
