[TxMt] a regexp test script (link)

Tue Apr 5 04:19:28 UTC 2005

Nice one Eric.

I'll have a look at my script when I get home & work out if it's worth
cleaning up & submitting to svn. I didn't get any such errors but I'm stuck
on windows here :( so textmate will have to wait till later.

Cheers

I've written an alternative version of the regular expression checker. It
relies heavily on a script I found on the web by Aristotle at perlmonks.org
(cited in the code).

I've checked it into the svn repository. There's also a version of the Ruby
script that produces a tooltip (though I can't get that to work on my
computer yet). They live at
http://macromates.com/svn/Bundles/trunk/RegularExpressions.tmbundle/

The way this alternative works is you copy the regexp to the clipboard, then
highlight the text you want to check. Then it produces HTML output which
color codes each subcapture.

There might be a nicer way to grab the regexp, like maybe using Cocoadialog,
but I just wanted to get this out there.

best wishes, Eric
