ShowUsYour<Regex>

Irregular Expressions Regularly

Currently I'm in the middle of replacing the testing tool on RegexLib.com. You can play with the changes that I've made so far at:

The new features include:

Ability to grab the source from a Url
Ability to grab the source from a file on your PC
Able to test using server-side .NET or client-side Javascript or VBScript
Able to display .NET matches as either a Grid (group view) or a Tree (capture view)
Settings that you make in the new "Options Panel" are persisted between sessions

There's more to come, but I wanted to get this stuff live because it's already head-and-shoulders ahead of what I had previously!

Enjoy! :-)

So I continously run in circles for 5 minutes until I realize I'm putting the pattern in the wrong spot. The old layout was just far more intuitive and not as cluttered. Can you offer that alongside as an alternative? September 28, 2004 3:59 AM
	digory said: Hi kb.. thanks for your honesty :-) I'll see what I can do; maybe I can have 2 modes: "Simple" and "Advanced", with Simple being the old view and Advanced being the new. I could allow the user to set their default view by setting a cookie. It won't get done in the next couple of weeks as I'm on annual vacation but, I'll stick it on the "TODO Stack".
