Hi,

First of all thank you for this software and the time you spent on it.
This is definitely my regex tool of choice.
I think the following UI features would be great to implement for
more... comfort :) :
- more than one "undo" level (Ctrl-Z only works once)
- highlighting of matching brackets (would really help in complex
expressions)
- allow inserting tabs (with tab key) in the regex field (right now, it
gives the focus to the target string field)

That's it, the rest is awesome!

Bye

I've written a copy (call it a homage) of Regex Coach.

It allows you to play around with Java regular expressions,
as defined at http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/regex/Pattern.html
and I can run it on my Mac and debian boxes.

It implements only the _very basics_ of Edi Weitz wonderful
Regex Coach, allowing you to enter a regex and observe
the hilighted matches (including captured groups).

Obviously the original tool is much more functionally complete :-)

You can download the full source from this link http://tinyurl.com/2bf8v9

And to run, install groovy:
  http://groovy.codehaus.org/Installing+Groovy

and use this at command line:
  groovy RegexCoach

Edi, I hope this homage is respectful of your excellent
tool which I use all the time when I have a windows box handy.

Cheers

Jez

Thanks, that's nice.  I've added a link to your message to the Regex
Coach website.

Cheers,
Edi.

I'll add these to my list of things to ponder, but unfortunately I'm
currently too busy to add new features.

Thanks,
Edi.
