What this tool does

Regex Match Extractor reads a regex pattern on the first line and text below it, then outputs every match on its own line.

Common use cases

Extract every regex match from pasted text for debugging, cleanup, and text mining workflows.

Use Regex Match Extractor when you are working with copied API payloads, logs, encoded values, config snippets, identifiers, or debugging data and need a quick browser-local check before pasting the result into docs, tickets, tests, or another developer tool.

How to use it

  1. Put a regex pattern on the first line.
  2. Paste the text to scan on following lines.
  3. Copy the list of matches.

Example workflow

Copy a small payload or encoded value from an API response, request URL, log line, or config file. Run the focused check here, confirm the output is readable, then continue with related developer data tools such as validation, formatting, decoding, timestamp conversion, or CSV/JSON conversion.

Privacy note

Client-side only: regex matching runs in your browser and pasted text is not uploaded.

FAQ

How do I enter the regex?

Put the regex on the first line. Use /pattern/flags syntax or a plain pattern.

Does it upload text?

No. Regex matching runs locally in your browser.

Can this replace a full regex tester?

It is focused on extracting matches. Use it for quick lists of matches from pasted text.
