Online regex tester for SQL
This regex tester allows you to test, validate, and visualize regex for SQL, specifically testing the REGEXP_INSTR function of the MySQL database. This interactive tool is designed to simplify the process of testing and sharing your regex.
The interactive interface allows you to quickly test your regex in real time, enabling numerous tests in a short amount of time.
Understanding the structure of a regular expression can be challenging. That's why we have integrated a regex visualizer. This tool breaks down your expression into simpler components and helps you visualize each part of your regex. Please note that this visualizer does not handle all regex features; it uses Regulex.
Another key feature of the SQL regex tester is the ability to share your configurations and results with others. Forums still exist ^^. Sometimes, human help is beneficial; GPTs are not perfect yet.
Regex can seem complex, but once mastered, they become a powerful tool for anyone working with textual data. I hope this tool helps you manipulate them!
