The first order of business is to clean up the code and commit it to the RegExr GitHub repo, so that it becomes a living project with community support.
Now that it’s released, we’re going to try not to let it stagnate again.
#Codekit old revisions full#
support for pasting full expressions (including flags).improved documentation, now with examples.vastly improved tokenizer, that is (hopefully) 100% accurate to JS RegExp standards.larger monospaced text and support for browser zoom (my eyes are older, my monitors are larger, and 10pt font just doesn’t seem so cool now).I also dug through over 240 comments on the original blog post, and implemented a ton of suggestions: save and share patterns with others via direct links.drag and drop text files to load their content.searchable database of community submitted patterns.full reference of all JS RegEx tokens, with loadable examples.support for testing substitution/replace.contextual help for all regex tokens and errors on rollover.I’d like to believe that RegExr v2 is the best way to learn, build and test RegEx online today. Rebuilt from scratch in HTML/JS, and (hopefully) improved in every way.
I’m happy to announce that the neglect is finally ending, with today’s release of RegExr v2. This is despite being essentially abandoned since 2008. Its popularity took me by surprise, with around 10M hits and 150K patterns saved to date. I thought the end result might be useful to others struggling to learn or work with RegEx, so I released it online. Built in Flex and AS3, it was a largely accidental outcome of exploring a few technical concepts I was interested in at the time (tokenizers/lexers, advanced text interactions, regular expressions).
