Is there a good browser based sandbox to practice regex? [closed]

Answer 1

Which flavor? Regex support is included in most of the major programming languages in use today, in editors and IDE's, in command-line tools like grep and findstr, and lots of other places. Every one of these tools/languages/applications has its own regex flavor, and no two flavors are completely alike.

For the regex flavor of a specific programming language, I just Google for "<language> regex tester"; there always seems to be at least one online tester available.

Answer 2

I'm biased of course because I wrote it. But there's a good one for .NET regular expressions called Regex Hero.

Answer 3

I like RegExPal.com. Good luck.

Answer 4

http://rgx-extract-replace.appspot.com/ provides extracting and replacement functionality.

1. It extracts and enlists in columns the groups of the matched pattern.
2. Optionally it can replace the pattern in the input text. It works in the same way as the Java regex api.

Answer 5

This is fairly handy for .net based stuff:
