Common Regex Patterns for Developers
Master these essential patterns:
- \d+ - Matches one or more digits (numbers)
- \w+ - Matches one or more word characters (letters, digits, underscore)
- \s+ - Matches one or more whitespace characters
- [a-zA-Z]+ - Matches one or more letters only
- ^.+$ - Matches entire lines
- (\w+)@(\w+\.\w+) - Captures email parts for replacement
Regex Flags Explained
Understanding flags enhances your pattern matching:
- Global (g) - Replaces all matches, not just the first one
- Case Insensitive (i) - Ignores case when matching
- Multiline (m) - ^ and $ match line breaks within the string
- Dot All (s) - . matches newline characters too

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How do I use capture groups in replacement?
Use $1, $2, etc. in your replacement text to reference captured groups from your pattern. For example, pattern (\w+)\s+(\w+) with replacement $2 $1 swaps two words.
Q. What if my regex pattern has an error?
The tool will show an error message explaining the issue. Use the "Test" button to validate your pattern before applying it to large text blocks.
Q. Can I save my results?
Yes! Use the "Save" button to download your processed text as a file, or copy it to clipboard for immediate use.
Q. How do I test complex patterns?
Use the pattern preview feature and test button to see matches before replacement. Start with simple patterns and build complexity gradually.
