I'm looking for a way to run The Regex Coach from an editor and to "feed" it with a regexp the user would select.

I know how to read the selection in the editor, however I found no way to run TRC with the regexp as argument... Is this actually possible (using an obscure command-line option...) ?

Nope, sorry, it isn't.

You could probably "push" the expression into the registry using one of the many tools (Perl, Resource Kit, WSH, other) that can do that. Presumably on non-Windows you'd just edit the config file, but the location of that file eluded me when I just went looking for it. Either way, not as easy as an argument, but possible.

For Windows see HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Edi Weitz\The Regex Coach\Panes.
