Stumped by regular expressions? Try the Regex Coach
28 Aug 2003Peter Bowyer‘s entry on The Regex Coach – interactive regular expressions alerted me to the very excellent Regex Coach.
The Regex Coach allows you to experiment with your regular expression (regex) and quickly determine how it would match your target string. It would be a very useful tool for trying out all any examples in any tutorials or books you may be reading. Also serves as a good testing platform for verifying your regex interactively (as opposed to writing it in your script, running it, and then checking the results). I wish I had this when I was learning regex.

Yes regex is a life saviour :)… i’m currently trying to learn POSIX reg expresions but it’s damn tough!
This soft helps a little but mostly when you have some basic knowledge about the topic.
Well i have no and this may take some time.
If you happen to know any sites where i can find plain and simple (with examples) explanaition of this stuff i would be very grateful.
Just include some links here…
Regards!

Daniel thanks for pointing that one out. It looks like it would be very useful, when I finally convert to using Eclipse.

M-x re-builder in emacs does something very similar. You build expressions in the lower window which are matched in real time in the main buffer.

There is a pretty new plugin for eclpise which is similar which can be found at http://brosinski.com/stephan/archives/000028.php. This looks a little more powerfull, thanks for the heads up.

Try this one. All you need is a web browser; no downloads. It uses Javascript’s regex.
