[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

[regex-coach] Regex Coach Feature idea and Linux
by JP Vossen 03 Feb '07

03 Feb '07

Hi Dr. Weitz, I've been using The Regex Coach periodically for a while now, and have recommended it to many people. I've also used the Linux version on my Ubuntu laptop, and am sorry to see that go. I have 1 trivial feature idea, for your consideration. I work for a Network Security Monitoring company and often do regexps for logs for different customers. Thus, the default stance of saving the previous expression and target are a potential information leak for me. I make an effort to clear the panes before I close the tool, but that's manual and error prone. I guess I could come up with a way to nuke the appropriate settings in "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Edi Weitz\The Regex Coach\Panes", but before I do that I thought I'd throw the idea out there. It might be nice to have settings like: Don't save ANY settings or values Don't save: Regex, Replacement or Target pane values Not a big deal, just a thought. Oh, one other trivial detail, 0.9.1 (http://common-lisp.net/pipermail/regex-coach/2007-January/000169.html) is not listed in http://weitz.de/regex-coach/changelog.txt, the latest it has is 0.9.0. Anyway, thanks for a great tool, JP ----------------------------|:::======|------------------------------- JP Vossen, CISSP |:::======| jp{at}jpsdomain{dot}org My Account, My Opinions |=========| http://www.jpsdomain.org/ ----------------------------|=========|------------------------------- Microsoft has single-handedly nullified Moore's Law. Innate design flaws of Windows make a personal firewall, anti-virus and anti-malware software mandatory. The resulting software arms race has effectively flattened Moore's Law on hardware running Windows.
