PureBasic Forum

I have written a small tool for my own needs but I think it might be also good help for others ...

The tool's called Rexman and it's aim is to help one in working with and development of regular expressions, especially in PureBasic.



Just put your sample-text into the regarding area and code your regex in the upper StringGadget -> Rexman will update automatically.

Have phun!

Cheers Didel

Nice idea - thanks.

Nice one, I already knew of some other software like this.

Useful, thank you

Would you mind giving us the link? I'm interested.

Sorry Didelphodon, didn't want to hijack your thread, but since someone is asking me...



This is my favorite, it's shareware:

http://www.regexbuddy.com/



There are many others freeware floating around, look for "regex tester" or "regular expression tester" or the like!

Anyway, any regexp library has some differences compared to another, so Didelphodon program is good for us because is using (I imagine) the regexp library include with PB. So a test with his tools is more "authoritative" for us PB users

(Regexp buddy supports many regex variants).

I asked for the link so it's my fault

Thanks luis!

No problem

Correct

Does anyone know of a simple, free program that allows me to easily create regular expressions?

Yes, Purebasic!

Rexman is back online again!

Cheers Didel.

A new version of Rexman is online.

Changes:
* Dynamic resizing of the GUI-components
* Regex cheat-sheet is now onboard - press F1 to view it
* Resultvisualizer gadget is now home-brewn using canvas-gadget - no more web-gadget
* Some bug-fixes

Cheers
Didel.

Great tool, but I miss an OpenFileRequester for loading text files as sample data.

Good point - thinking about it ...

....and for loading complete examples - regex solution for sample data.

How about adding a tab with some guidance on how to build a regex?

Hello Didel,

Your new version works very well on my laptop at home but it works not on my office laptop.
(I think the reason is the Regex cheat-sheet)
