A simple Mac OS X application for testing native regular expressions.

NSRegexTester

This is a very simple Mac OS X application that allows you to test regular expressions against sample text. It is based on the Mac OS SDK's implementation of NSRegularExpression, which is based on ICU.

My problem is that, as a Rails developer, I'd grown accustomed to using Rubular, a brilliant regex testing tool. However, there are subtle differences in the syntax of regular expressions between the Mac SDK and others. This tool ensures that the expressions I enter will actually work when implemented in code.

Usage

Feel free to adopt it, use it, love it and fork it. I'm happy to take any pull requests to improve it, though it's pretty well satisfying my requirements now.

nsregextester's Issues

Consider using a monospaced font for the input fields

Thank you for this great application :)

One minor suggestion: please use a monospaced font (e.g. Monaco, Consolas, Menlo, Lucida Console etc.) for the input fields. Code and regular expresions are much easier to read when presented in a monospaced font.

Cheers!

nsregextester in Windows(os)?

Hi everyone.

I want to help, but I want to know if this project is active. Is this project active?

Is there a way to create a version for windows instead of just macOS?
