What’s New

Version 1.16.1

• Fixed an issue when scrolling large amounts of text and the scroll position might end up inaccurate. Thanks to the user who reported this and provided steps and sample text to reproduce.
• A big change to how text highlight logic works. It should not provide much better performance and reliability.
• Capture group coloring used to start with red, which was too harsh, it is now moved towards the end of the list of colors.
• Removed the "Created" message which appears on screen when a new regex is added.
• Added a "Select all" button for the test text.
• Fixed an issue where some text fields would be too "smart" and change characters such as `...` to `…` or `"` to `“`.
• Removed old third-party frameworks and switched to native code, which makes the app size smaller and improves performance.

Fantastic tool to have in hand

While I am not a pro using RegEx, I quick test on this App before writing something on my computer. It’s easier and faster rather than run the script every time. And since I (sadly) live with my phone next to me it has just become a fun pass time even if I don’t need to them... By doing (rather than reading the theory) you learn so much more and if you are like me that has just started with RegEx, having an app like this will help you in the process of getting your feet wet! Highly recommended

Developer Response ,

Thank you very much for your review. I am glad to hear that RegEx Lab is helping you to learn about regular expressions (it's a very useful skill to have!). For any suggestions, just let me know (from the app: Settings > Contact Developer).

Great, full-featured regex tool

I wanted to test a regex but didn’t want to connect to work to get a Linux window. Downloaded this app and voila. You can write your regex and write your data, both of which you can save, and it highlights the matches or does the replacements. It’s got examples and reference information. Font size is adjustable.

Great for practicing expressions on the go

I’ve never written a review on the App Store before, but I reached out to the developer and requested an export feature. Sure enough - it shows up in the next update!

Regular Expressions are new to me, so it’s important that I can take my learning and practice on the go. This app is perfect for that. No fuss - just works.
