How it works
Choose a pattern type, optionally add length limits and flags, then generate a starter regex. You can also test it against a sample value.
Examples
- Digits only with min 4 and max 6 → useful for PIN-like values
- Email (simple) → starter pattern for email-like text
- Date YYYY-MM-DD → basic date format matching
