   1. In the Sample Data provide the text you want to use for testing the pattern and click the Show button.

   2. In the Masked Data section, the JavaScript Regular Expression and Java Regular Expression applied to the sample data are displayed. All the settings configured in the Masking Pattern tab will be applied to the sample data.

   3. After you are done testing, you can close the window.
