FAQ
What are capture groups?
Capture groups are portions of a regex enclosed in parentheses () that extract specific segments from the match result for further processing.
Why are my match results empty?
Check that the regex syntax is correct, the global match flag (g) is enabled, and the test text actually conforms to the expression pattern.
Which regex syntax is supported?
Standard JavaScript regex syntax is supported, including character classes, quantifiers, anchors, groups, assertions, and more.
