Regex

Debug and test regular expression

Codelime's regex tool is a feature that allows users to test and visualize regular expressions (regex) against source text. Here's a simple explanation of how it works and what it offers:

• Write Pattern: You can enter your regex pattern into the tool. This is the sequence of characters that defines the text you want to match.

• Source String: This is where you input the text you want to search through using the regex pattern you've written.

• Visualize Matches: Codelime will then inspect the source string and highlight matches to your regex pattern. Each captured group within the regex can be colored differently so you can easily distinguish between different parts of the match.

Options: The tool offers various options to modify how the regex operates:

• Case Insensitive: This option allows the regex to match letters regardless of whether they are uppercase or lowercase.
• Anchor Match Lines: With this option, you can specify if you want your pattern to match at the start or end of lines within the source string, rather than anywhere in the text.

These features make Codelime's regex tool a powerful ally for anyone working with text patterns, whether for programming, data analysis, or automation tasks. It simplifies the process of creating and refining regular expressions by providing immediate and clear feedback on what the regex is matching.
