Live match highlighting
Type a pattern + input and see matches highlighted inline with capture groups expanded. Zero-result and invalid-pattern states are surfaced clearly.
A regex pattern builder + debugger with capture-group highlighting, an explanation engine, a cheat sheet, and a shareable library. Wire it into your daily dev loop — VSIX test-from-selection, save-as-Hook-filter, save-as-Snippet deep links.
An explanation engine, not just a tester. Every token in your pattern gets a human-readable explanation — anchors, character classes, quantifiers, groups, lookarounds.
/[\w.]+@[\w-]+\.[a-z]{2,}/gi
[\\w.]+ — word chars + dots
@ — literal @
[a-z]{2,} — TLD, 2+ lowercase
Standard Regex is a regex builder + debugger with an explanation engine that walks every token in your pattern and emits a human-readable description. Test against single inputs or run a suite of test cases with expected-match counts. Save patterns to your library with tags, mark them public to share + fork, and deep-link into Standard Hook (save as webhook body filter) and Standard Snippets (save as a snippet).
Type a pattern + input and see matches highlighted inline with capture groups expanded. Zero-result and invalid-pattern states are surfaced clearly.
Every token — anchors, character classes, quantifiers, groups, lookarounds, alternation, escapes — gets a human-readable explanation rendered as a tree.
Attach test cases with expected match counts. The runner reports pass/fail per case so you can lock in behavior before saving.
Mark a pattern public to share it. Other developers can fork it into their own library and tweak. Tags power search.
An anchored reference for every construct the engine supports — anchors, classes, shorthand, quantifiers, groups, flags, escapes.
Deep-link a pattern into Standard Hook to create a webhook body filter, or into Standard Snippets to save it as a snippet — same regex, multiple surfaces.
