RegX is a regular expression tool that provides a great way to do search and replace on a block of text. The actual regex operation is performed in a separate thread using an HTML5 worker so that the app never freezes or slows down even on complicated expressions or long blocks of text.
Features:
- Replaced matches are highlighted in the output.
- By pressing the execute button or hitting the enter key, the current output will be moved to the input box.
- The input and output boxes scroll together so that they can be more easily compared side-by-side.
Still to come:
- Provide flags for things such as case insensitive searches.
- Improve the input/output comparison so that it better compares lines.
- Highlight matches
- Save search/replace patterns for re-use
Changelog:
- v0.1.0
- - Initial Release
- v0.2.0
- - The regex can't be executed while the background process is running or if there's an error. The Execute button will gray out to signify this.
- v0.2.1
- - Updated the manifest to v2
- - Fixed the way escape sequences are done in the replacement so \\n should render now as \n rather than as a slash followed by a line break.
Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
