[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

Hi, First of all thank you for this software and the time you spent on it. This is definitely my regex tool of choice. I think the following UI features would be great to implement for more... comfort :) : - more than one "undo" level (Ctrl-Z only works once) - highlighting of matching brackets (would really help in complex expressions) - allow inserting tabs (with tab key) in the regex field (right now, it gives the focus to the target string field) That's it, the rest is awesome!

[regex-coach] Groovy and Java Regular Expressions
by Jeremy Rayner 18 Apr '07

I've written a copy (call it a homage) of Regex Coach. It allows you to play around with Java regular expressions, as defined at http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/regex/Pattern.html and I can run it on my Mac and debian boxes. It implements only the _very basics_ of Edi Weitz wonderful Regex Coach, allowing you to enter a regex and observe the hilighted matches (including captured groups). Obviously the original tool is much more functionally complete :-) screenshot: http://javanicus.com/groovy/groovy-regex-coach.gif You can download the full source from this link http://tinyurl.com/2bf8v9 And to run, install groovy: http://groovy.codehaus.org/Installing+Groovy and use this at command line: groovy RegexCoach Edi, I hope this homage is respectful of your excellent tool which I use all the time when I have a windows box handy. Cheers Jez -- Groovy Engineer http://searchgroovy.org http://javanicus.com/blog2
