About this tool
Escape special characters for safe regular expression matching, or unescape already escaped regex strings back to readable text. This tool is helpful for search pattern generation, config editing, and debugging dynamic regex creation in code. It avoids manual escaping mistakes that commonly break pattern matching.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should I escape regex text?
Escape input when you want to match literal characters that might otherwise be interpreted as regex operators.
What does unescape mode do?
It removes regex escaping from special characters to make patterns easier to read or edit.
Can this validate full regex syntax?
No. It focuses on escaping conversion and does not execute regex parsing tests.
