Describe what you need
Generated pattern
/^[\w.+-]+@[\w-]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,}$/

Matches a standard email address: local part, @, domain name, and a 2+ letter TLD.

Example match: [email protected]

Test string0 matches
Highlighted matches
[email protected]
not an email

Describing what a pattern needs to match in a plain sentence, an email address, a phone number in a specific format, and getting back working regex text is a fundamentally different interaction than clicking together pattern pieces in a visual, node-based builder, one starts from language, the other starts from a UI, and which one actually fits depends on whether typing a description or assembling pieces visually feels more natural for a given moment. This tool generates a regex pattern directly from a natural language description, producing ready-to-use pattern text rather than requiring pieces to be assembled through a visual interface.

Useful for typing "matches a US phone number" and getting a working pattern back immediately, generating a pattern for a common format like an email or a URL without knowing regex syntax by heart, or getting a starting pattern from a plain description to refine further by hand.
