Irregular Expressions Regularly

New testing tool for RegexLib.com

I'm playing around with some ideas for a new testing tool for RegexLib.com:

    http://regexlib.com/BetaTester/TestPage.aspx

This tool will allow you to test patterns using clientside (VBScript or Javascript) or, serverside (.NET) engines.  When using the .NET engine you can also choose to display results in a Grid (group view) or a Tree (captures view).

Feedback
I should have it tested and integrated in with the rest of the site within a week (hopefully).  If you have any feedback, or, requests for additional features, please either mail me via my contact form or just leave them as a comment below.

Thanks to Moshe Salomon for the client-side bits :-)

 

Known bugs:
.NET Named groups throw a syntax error when using the angle bracket version, use the single quote version for the time being: i.e.: use (?'nameOfGroup'...) instead of (?<nameOfGroup>...)

Noticed that the checkboxes to Ignore case/ etc do not seem to be working.

eg. after unchecking ignore case, it continued to ignore case anyway, ignore case checkbox is rechecked after submission.

Feature request:
If it's reasonably possible, please add a check for regular expressions that are used in .net patternSearches such as those used in the EditPoint.findPattern with the regular expression flag set.

By the way,

Thank you for doing this. It will be really helpful for people like me who usually can't install programs like this on my work computer without a lot of bureaucracy involved, and where apps like regex workbench, and the The Regulator are likely to be off limits forever since they are not COTS apps.

Thanks for the heads-up. Hopefully I'll have a true Beta version of the testing tool ready for consumption soon('ish) :-)

Cheers,
