Regex Tester

How to Test Regular Expressions Locally on your Mac

Regex test input often comes from logs, customer text, filenames or private validation rules. CodeSwissKnife lets you test regular expressions locally with live highlighting and replacement preview.

Why test regex locally?

Sample text can contain private data. A local regex tester keeps the pattern and test corpus in your workspace.

See matches as you type

Live matching helps you understand whether a pattern catches the intended text before it reaches validation code or a script.

Preview replacements safely

Use replacement preview to check transformations before copying a regex into code, data cleanup or migration work.
