You can open the _Regex Tester_ in three different ways:

  (![Regex Tester icon](/mulesoft/current/en-us/rpa-builder/latest/_images/advanced-concepts-using-regular-expressions-testing-regular-expression-image1.png)).

- In an action step that supports Regex, click the **Test Regex** button
  (![Regex Tester icon](/mulesoft/current/en-us/rpa-builder/latest/_images/test-regex-icon.png)).

  Opening the _Regex Tester_ this way automatically transfers any regular expressions and text
  patterns associated with the action step to the tool.
