NL → Regex (AI)

Regex

Describe what you want to match in plain English: get a regex pattern, explanation, and test cases powered by GPT-4o mini

Describe what you want to match, like "a US phone number with optional dashes", and GPT-4o mini returns a working pattern, a plain-English breakdown of what each part does, and auto-generated test cases covering both matches and non-matches you might not have thought to check. This is a server-backed AI tool, not a browser-only utility, so the description text is sent to OpenAI's API to generate the response, unlike the purely client-side Regex Tester. It targets JavaScript/ECMAScript regex syntax by default; if you need PCRE, Python, or Go regex specifically, say so in the description since flavors diverge on things like lookbehind and named groups. Treat the output as a strong starting point rather than a guarantee: run it against the generated test cases and your own real data before relying on it, especially for anything security-sensitive. Once you have a pattern, the standalone Regex Tester is the place to keep iterating against your own sample text.

How to use NL → Regex (AI)

  • 1.Type a plain-English description like "match a US phone number with optional dashes" and get back a working regex pattern.
  • 2.Review the generated explanation to understand what each part of the pattern does before dropping it into your code.
  • 3.Check the auto-generated test cases (matches and non-matches) to sanity-check the pattern against edge cases you hadn't thought of.

Frequently asked questions

Does this run in my browser or on a server?
The pattern generation calls GPT-4o mini on the server since it requires an LLM — your description text is sent to OpenAI's API to generate the response.
Is the generated regex guaranteed to be correct?
No — treat it as a strong starting point, not a guarantee. Always run it against the provided test cases and your own real data before shipping it, especially for security-sensitive validation.
What regex flavor does it generate for?
It targets JavaScript/ECMAScript regex syntax by default; if you need PCRE, Python, or Go regex, mention that in your description since flavors differ on lookbehind and named groups.
Can I test the pattern it gives me?
Yes — paste the output into the standalone Regex Tester tool to see live match highlighting against your own sample text.
