What this tool handles

  • Matches or replaces, with the g, i, m, s, u, v, y and d flags.
  • Shows every match with its index and its capture groups.
  • The pattern runs in a Web Worker that is killed after 750 ms, so catastrophic backtracking cannot freeze the tab.
  • Replacement supports $1, $2 and named group references.
