Description from store
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.

- (2013-11-12) David Viehtauer: Awesome! Exactly what I needed! Replaces on the fly!
- (2013-09-27) Vadim Bryksin: Very nice tool, however doesnt allow to do tabs [\t] in text editor! that is very big minus as i had to copy paste text from text pad
- (2013-04-02) Raghvendra K Mishra: One of the best tool that I most like to work on.
- (2013-02-20) Richard Blumberg: This is a wonderfully useful tool, expecially given the poor support for Regex among most of the cloud editors I've been experimenting with. The only complaint I have with it is the inability to change the color scheme (dark grey on black? Really?) or alter the font size.
- (2013-01-16) I enjoyed the sleek design and relative ease of use. However, there was one problem I found. Because this app is based in JavaScript, there is no lookbehind support. This prevented me from testing many of my regex ideas. If, in the future, lookbehind support is added, I would definitely give this 5 stars. Good Job!
- (2012-06-09) Saju Vetiyatil: handy tool . The two panes are intuitive and changes are highlighted as we type. really neat application.
