You can even step through the matching process and see how your matches are made
- squeaky-clean 9y agoLove RegexBuddy. That feature along with the "use" tab which generates code for whatever language you select. I don't have to remember the specifics in all the languages I work in. I just select from the dropdowns, for example, "JavaScript (Chrome)" then "Use regex object to get the part of a string matched by a numbered group". Replace the placeholder variable names, and you're good to go! It will also do things like warn you if you use named groups if your selected language doesn't support them, and the "Use" dropdown won't provide that option. I really wish it wasn't Windows only.
- chrisan 9y agoHah wow... I've had this app for over a decade and never noticed that feature... right next to the Debug button which I have used numerous times on really gnarly regexes
