[regex-coach] Feature request: turn off real time option
by David Evans 06 Jun '07

06 Jun '07

This is the best tool for building RegEx's I've found! Thanks, Edi! I use it to test expressions that search OCR text for multiple-date formats and invoice information. Sometimes I have long expressions and large target strings. When this happens, I would really like to be able to turn off the real time testing because my machine takes a while to process each keystroke - it would be cool to turn this feature off or only search when the text has not changed for >0.7 seconds (configurable?) or maybe on a key-combination. I would also like Regex Coach to fix all my OCR errors, make my tea and remind me about my wife's birthday.. ;-) Great product! --Dave

Please use the mailing list to report bugs and problems. The Regex Coach does not contain spyware or adware. If "Windows Defender" (whatever that is) reports spyware, you should ask the vendor why they report that.

[regex-coach] does regex coach support lookahead and lookbehind?

Does regex coach support lookahead? lookbehind? If so, can someone please send a sample? I have tried something like: my test(?<=something) but it just takes (?<= as a normal regex rather than as a boost type lookbehind. Thanks, Steve

Hi, I found the Regex-Coach an invaluable piece of code (I'm using it almost every days), and wanted to thank you about that. Looking at the CL-PPCRE dictionary[1], I saw that the (?{code}) and (??{code}) syntaxic forms were (obviously) not handled, but what about having the php variants (?R), (?1), (?2),... which don't imply any code pollution at the pattern level? BTW, this is really soon to come in perl5's next version[2]. In the same mood, it would be really nice to handle named capture with the help of the (?P<name>), (?P=name), and the related (?P>name) from python/php. Regards, Dom [1] http://weitz.de/cl-ppcre/#dict [2] http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/perl5-porters/3291152

Maybe you have these sticky keys disabled as > well...? I have had the problem on two different computers with > rather "normal "settings, I believe. You mean you set the keys to be sticky using Windows XP? I never used such a setting, so I probably have that disabled. But still, if (with these settings) the problem you described /only/ occurs with Regex Coach and not with other apps I'd be interested.

[regex-coach] Feature requests/bug reports

There seems to be some sort of leak or looping problem. After a small bit of usage, Regex Coach becomes unusably slow. Restarting the application fixes this for a short period of time before it must be restarted again, etc. It would really help to replace all the 10 radio buttons for the group extraction into a listbox or similar UI. It would also be nice if a better (less bold) font were used, or have the font be user-selectable. Thanks, Charlie

[regex-coach] Bug?: Pressing "alt gr"+"\\\" makes my ctrl button "sticky"...
by Mark Baumgarten 04 Nov '06

When I enter the key combination mentioned in the subject in order to define a regex like this: *<img src=\\\" *I have to restart my computer to get rid of having my "ctrl" thinking that it was told to be a "sticky" key..... I really like Regex Coach, but this little problem has been driving me crazy for a week (and 150 restarts...) now. Is it just me or? I am running version 0.9 on Windows XP Professional. I hope someone can help.' Best regards Mark
