Usage Examples

Email Validation

Test the pattern /^[\w.-]+@[\w.-]+\.\w{2,}$/ against common email formats. See real-time match highlighting for valid and invalid addresses.

Phone Number Extraction

Use /\b\d{3}[-.]?\d{3}[-.]?\d{4}\b/ to extract all US phone numbers from a block of text. Supports formats like 555-123-4567 and 555.123.4567.

URL Parsing

Decompose URLs with /^(https?):\/\/([^\/:]+)(?::(\d+))?(\/.*)?$/ to capture protocol, domain, port, and path separately for web scraping and analytics.
