What is the Text Pattern Tester?
The Text Pattern Tester (formally known as a Regular Expression or 'Regex' Tester) helps you build smart search rules. Instead of just searching for an exact word, you can search for a pattern—like 'find any text that looks like a phone number or an email address.' This tool lets you test those rules before you use them.
How to use it
- Type your 'Regex' pattern in the top input box.
- Paste some sample text into the large text area below.
- The tool will instantly highlight any text that matches your pattern.
- Adjust your pattern until it highlights exactly what you expect.
Common Use Cases
- >Verifying that your code will correctly catch invalid email addresses.
- >Extracting phone numbers from a massive block of disorganized text.
- >Cleaning up and formatting messy spreadsheet data automatically.
