Frequently asked questions

Does it support all JavaScript regex syntax?

Yes. ArcPanel uses the browser's native RegExp engine, so every JavaScript regex feature is supported — including Unicode property escapes, dotAll mode, and named capture groups.

Can I test multiple patterns at once?

Yes. You can add multiple patterns and see them highlighted simultaneously with distinct colors, making it easy to compare or layer matches.

Does it support lookahead and lookbehind?

Yes. Positive and negative lookahead (?=...) (?!...) and lookbehind (?<=...) (?<!...) are fully supported, as they run on your browser's native regex engine.

How do I access the Regex Tester?

Install the ArcPanel Chrome extension, press ⌘K on any page, and type "regex". The tool opens instantly — no new tab required.
