visual-regexp

graphical front-end to write/debug regular expressions in Perl

Development

Not tested on a device yet. What that means

visual-regexp in Breadstick

Breadstick runs Debian's own visual-regexp package for ARM64, the build a Debian 13 computer with an ARM processor installs, so visual-regexp should look and behave as it does on a Linux PC. On Samsung DeX, Floating mode opens it as its own window beside your Android apps, and Desktop mode runs it on a full Linux desktop.

Compilers and interpreters run on the device's own ARM64 processor, while containers and virtual machines, which need a kernel of their own, cannot run. More about development tools in Breadstick.

About visual-regexp

From the project's description

visual-regexp helps to design, debug or more generally work with the perl regular expressions. Since it is often difficult to write the right regexp on the first attempt, this tool will show the effect of regexp on a sample that can be selected.

This software will allow one to design regexps while leaving the type of expression and visualize its effect on a sample of your choice to interactively debug regular expressions.

Makes it possible to use visual-regexp to modify a text. Just use the menu and can now design a regexp to match what you're looking for. After substitution, is able to save the new text. May allow the program to select the end-of-line format or force it for a specific environment.

This program is a Tcl script and shows the result of running a regular expression, and making debugging relatively easy. It also assists in the construction of regular expressions.

From the project's AppStream metadata in Debian's visual-regexp package, under MIT.
