Frequently Asked Questions
What regex features and flags are supported?
Supports all JavaScript regex features including lookarounds, named groups, unicode flag, sticky flag, and all standard quantifiers, anchors, and character classes.
How does the pattern complexity analysis work?
Complexity is calculated based on the number and type of regex features used. Simple patterns use basic matching, while complex patterns use advanced features like lookarounds and nested quantifiers.
What performance issues does the tool detect?
Detects catastrophic backtracking, nested quantifiers, and other patterns that can cause exponential time complexity. Provides optimization suggestions for better performance.
Can I test patterns against multiple text samples?
Yes, enter multiple lines of text to test your pattern against different inputs. The tool will show all matches with their positions and captured groups.
How accurate is the regex explanation feature?
The explanation breaks down patterns into component parts with descriptions for each element. While comprehensive, complex patterns may require additional context for full understanding.
