RegEx Tester is awesome!

Post by Frank »

I have just discovered how much superior the RegEx Tester is in comparison with the regex features of regular text editors like Notepad++ (esp. because it works smoothly across line-breaks and has these handy tabs with overviews)

Suggestion: Integrate the Tester more prominently in TextCrawler single file mode (it could work on the files instead of test files directly)! By the way, Tester could be a popular stand-alone regex file manipulator application, too if that makes sense for DigitalVolcano.

Possible improvements in this respect:
* Make border between test text pane and tabs dragable, to see more of the current (test) text.
* Button "Save (test) text" (and update text pane) in addition to "Use this" in the context of TextCrawler
* Make it possible to display all matches as in "... Plus 79 more. (Not shown)" to copy them for analysis into other tools (or even back into the test pane!)

Good job!

Regards,
Frank

Thanks for the suggestions!
I was thinking about making it stand alone, when I get time.
