Instantly highlights matched strings, overlapping patterns, and partial sub-matches within your target text block in real-time.

Analysis

Capturing Groups Breakdown

Deconstructs every regex match into numbered sub-groups, capturing offsets, token lengths, and indexes clearly.

Toggle global (`g`), case-insensitive (`i`), multiline (`m`), dotall (`s`), and unicode (`u`) flags on the fly with live evaluation.
