RegStudio

Regular Expression construction and testing tool.

Welcome!

RegStudio is the successor to my little RegTest tool. RegStudio features a new, improved interface, complete with wizards and helpers to aide in the creation of your regular expression. Once you've built a regex you can test it against a set of text to see if you have achieved a valid regular expression.

And now, once you've got that regular expression just right, save it for later use! What's more, the save file is a plain text XML file stored in your My Documents so it's easy to send to a friend, and transfer regex's.


12.15.2006 Update!
I've made a few anhancements and decided to go ahead and put up a download. This version makes saving regular expressions easier with an autocomplete list of previously saved names. No, there is no delete yet, but that is next.

Also added a bit of error handling so if your expression is invalid it alerts a message and tells you the exception that occured. Then I added the start of line and end of line zero width assertion expressions to the drop downs. I also made it so that when you insert a quantifier, expression, or lookaround, it does not assume to insert it at the end of the line. It inserts wherever the cursor is. And lastly I am displaying a message where there are no matches (so simple yet nice).

I got rid of the setup program due to the fact that AVG antivirus was complaining that it contained spyware. Damn those free setup program creators! So now, just unzip the executable to wherever, and copy the XML file to your My Documents folder, until I can get a proper setup program made.


Download:
RegStudio is currently still in Alpha, and many features not complete. I am currently welcoming feedback on the application, and suggestions are welcome. Please send them to psykoprogrammer@yahoo.com with a subject of RegStudio.

Download the program. More coming soon!
