Komodo (from ActiveState for both Windows and Linux) has the Rx Toolkit. That is where I do all my regular expression testing, aside from running the script in debug.
The Rx Toolkit also provides an explanation in the status bar of the regex part your cursor is hovering over and allows you to step through the regex parts to see what matches what part of the string. <grin>Being an ActiveState list, I anxiously await my free upgrade to the Pro Version of Komodo for the plug</grin> -----Original Message----- From: Nexus [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 10, 2003 5:47 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: easy newbie REGEX Hi folks, As a follow on from this thread, I too have problems working out the various regexp statements other than those that I take from other people's code with only about a 70% understanding of why it works... though effective, not a great way to really learn as to *why* it works. Ideally, something that can take both a strings and a regexp and display the string result of that regexp that then allows me to change the regexp on the fly and view the result, would be the thing - does such a beast exist ? (win32 of course to bring it within list mandate ;-) (Trying to both create a regexp that parses Snort signature files and understand how it works (tm) is the reason I'm asking btw). Any pointers ?
