- It shows whether a regular expression matches a particular target string.
- It can also show which parts of the target string correspond to captured register groups or to arbitrary parts of the regular expression.
- It can "walk" through the target string one match at a time.
- It can simulate Perl's
splitands///(substitution) operators. - It tries to describe the regular expression in plain English.
- It can show a graphical representation of the regular expression's parse tree.
- It can single-step through the matching process as performed by the regex engine.
- Everything happens in "real time", i.e. as soon as you make a change somewhere in the application all other parts are instantly updated.
The Regex Coach is written in Common Lisp and was developed using the LispsWorks development environment. The regex engine used is CL-PPCRE.
This (freeware) application has been quite successful. As of December 2005 it has been downloaded about 200,000 times, and it was distributed on CD with several books and magazines.
