hi,
keep hearing about these out here so when I saw this offering on one of my
software of the day sites thought I would pass it along in case anyone wanted
it.
" Learn regular expressions with The Regex Coach
September 9th, 2010
runs on Windows
Did you ever wake with a start and realize that it's just too hard to find
things in your files and on your computer and decide "this is the day that I
will master regular expressions?" No, I didn't think so.
Regular expressions provide a means of matching strings of characters based on
rules you specify. They are used in text editors, utility programs, and several
programming languages (Perl is practically built on them). They let you find
text fast without having to do a lot of the heavy lifting yourself. Powerful,
yes, but also often complicated. That's where you need a coach.
The Regex Coach is a tool that can give you a hand with learning and improving
your skills in the use of regular expressions. Type your target string into
the application window, enter the regular expression that you think you want,
and press the magic button. The app will let you know how successful you
were in your attempt. Huzzah! for you if you were successful, but if not, then
you can fine tune your regexp and try again.
You can grab The Regex Coach for free. It's a Windows app, and you're going to
have the best luck with Win2k or later.
