Frequently Asked Questions

PCRE vs JavaScript?

This is the browser’s JS engine. Lookbehind works in modern browsers; some PCRE verbs do not.

Catastrophic backtracking?

Evil patterns can freeze the tab. Keep tests small while experimenting.

Replace?

A replace field shows the substitution result with captured groups.

Is Regex tester completely free to use?

Yes. Regex tester on Omnipus is free to use with no subscription paywall for the tool itself.

Are my files or data uploaded to any servers?

No. Regex tester processes your input locally in this browser tab. Your files and text are not sent to Omnipus. Some tools download an engine or model file the first time you use them; that is a download, not an upload.

Can I use Regex tester on my mobile phone?

Yes. Omnipus has touch-friendly controls and can be installed as an app. On Android you can also share files or links into tools from other apps.
