Tests a JavaScript regex against sample inputs and shows exactly what matched. Takes a pattern + flags and an array of test inputs, then returns a per-input matched / not-matched verdict, every match with byte index, all numbered capture groups, and named groups (?<name>...). Catches catastrophic-backtrack-shaped patterns up front (nested unbounded quantifiers) and rejects them with a clear error. Companion to regex-from-prompt: that one generates a pattern from natural language, this one tells you whether your pattern actually matches what you think it matches. Use it as a regex tester, pattern matcher, regex playground, verify-a-pattern check, or match-and-capture extractor.
INPUT — request schema
| property | type | description | req? |
|---|---|---|---|
| pattern | string | JavaScript regex pattern (without surrounding slashes). Max 500 chars. | required |
| flags | string | Optional regex flags string like 'gi', 'u', 'ms'. JS standard flags only (g i m s u y d v). | optional |
| inputs | array | 1-100 test strings. Each string max 5000 chars. | required |
OUTPUT — response shape
| field | type | description |
|---|---|---|
| pattern | string | Echo of the input pattern. |
| flags | string | Echo of the input flags string. |
| input_count | number | Total number of inputs tested. |
| matched_count | number | How many inputs had at least one match. |
| unmatched_count | number | How many inputs had zero matches. |
| results | array | Per-input result objects: input, input_index, matched boolean, match_count, truncated flag (when capped at 100 matches), and matches array. Each match has the full match string, start index, numbered groups array, and named groups object. |
