Paket: redet (8.23-1) [universe]

regular expression development and execution tool

Redet allows the user to construct regular expressions and test them against input data by executing any of a variety of search programs, editors, and programming languages that make use of regular expressions. When a suitable regular expression has been constructed it may be saved to a file.

Redet stands for Regular Expression Development and Execution Tool. For each program, a palette showing the available regular expression syntax is provided. Selections from the palette may be copied to the regular expression window with a mouse click. Users may add their own definitions to the palette via their initialization file. Redet also keeps a list of the regular expressions executed, from which entries may be copied back into the regular expression under construction. The history list is saved to a file and restored on startup, so it persists across sessions.

So long as the underlying program supports Unicode, Redet allows UTF-8 Unicode in both test data and regular expressions.
