Ok, I have to ask: why? Whenever I write and debug regexes (as I had
to do this morning for the first time in a while - I try to avoid
them) I always create a function in the interpreter that looks like:
def test(regex, line):
print re.compile(regex).match(line).groups()
and then test my regexes incrementally:
>>>l = '8 this is my line to test'
>>> test('^\s*(\d)+', l)
until I have it right. How is using this tool easier than that?
