Frequently Asked Questions

Does the tool support Unicode flag u?

Yes, all standard JavaScript flags are available: g, i, m, s, u, y. The tool passes them directly to the RegExp constructor, so if your browser supports u, it will work.

Can I copy the matches or groups?

Each match and group is displayed as plain text; you can select and copy it manually. There is no dedicated export, but the information is fully visible.

Is there a limit on text size?

No hard limit, but extremely large inputs (several MB) may slow down the UI because all processing happens in the browser’s main thread. For typical dev‑testing scenarios performance is excellent.
