Frequently Asked Questions

Is my data uploaded to a server?

No. ZippyEdit processes everything locally in your web browser using JavaScript. Your text and regex patterns never leave your device, making it the most private regex testing tool available.

What regex flavor does this use?

The tester uses JavaScript's native RegExp engine, which follows ECMAScript standards. This is compatible with most modern programming languages and environments.

Can I test multiline patterns?

Yes! Enable the multiline flag (m) to have ^ and $ match the start and end of each line. You can also use the dotall flag (s) to make . match newlines.

Does it work offline?

Yes! Once the page loads, the regex tester works without an internet connection since all processing is done locally in your browser.
