Do you mean its not explained correctly or its not in the quickref? Its not enabled by default because it changes the behavior of many things, for example what \d and \w match. The user has to decide for himself what flags to use.

Haha, hopefully my website will help you keep regex-related problems to a minimum :).

Adjusted, thank you!

The colorizer does most of the grunt work, it tokenizes the regex and colors it properly. The explainer then basically just loops over those tokens and explain them. It's a bit hacked together as it works right now though; but it seems to do the trick. The explainer does some additional error-checking which the colorizer doesn't have enough resources to do as well. Anything in particular you want to know?

I have been looking into this, but I know too little about them to make my current scripts work along side one of them. If you can help me out that would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Hehe yep, it works. It just creates >20000 DOM elements.. But other than that: it works :)

The version I have implemented, PCRE, is fairly common. It's good starting ground. Goal is to add more flavor-specific support, but thats in the future.

Thanks for the kind words!

You can use permalinks (press the button), which is the preferred way of sharing expressions. Otherwise the following works too: http://www.regex101.com/?regex=...&options=...&text=...&sub=....

Thank you! Has since been fixed.

You're right, I'll look into a smart solution for this. Thanks for pointing it out! I have a very large monitor, I rarely run into problems like these.

Thank you for the kind words! I moderate it myself fromtime to time. I hope nobody does something stupid like that; they gain nothing by it.

You cant insert a tab character (yet). Ill fix that.

Hmm, you could perhaps minimize the fields you dont need while writing it? Use the [-] buttons

Thank you!!

I have written about this in the about & credits pagr. I have also spoken to the author of rubular.

Lindrian | 12 years ago | on: Just released a major update for my site. What do you guys think?

I will do something along those lines in the future, as I have written in my main comment in this thread :)

Lindrian | 12 years ago | on: Just released a major update for my site. What do you guys think?

Thank you! Not as of right now, everything I do I release for free given I can still pay for the server bill. I have plans on expanding the website quite a bit though... :)

Hey

I have recently released a new update for regex101 where I pretty much recoded everything; the entire explaination and colorizer engine. They are still not perfect, and I'm not fully satisfied with the code, but its way way better than it was before. I will probably remake it when I get more time on my hands.

A list of all that has been fixed would take too long to write up, but I have added some of the things I have most commonly been asked:

- Changeable delimiters

- Alternating color matches

- Bigger editor

- Wider and more accurate explanations

- Samples on how to use regex (automatically generated)

I am planning on adding more flavors in the future, so you can do live testing and validation of java, javascript, python and perl style regular expressions. I am also trying to create my own debugger (much like the one in regexbuddy). Once again, this will have to be when I get more time on my hands. Currently the only support is for PCRE which is achieved through PHP.

Until then I ask you guys to please tell me what you think of the current features, suggest new ones and please report any bugs you might encounter :).

If you want to help me out with the website, send me a message!

Thanks in advance!
