Source: Freshmeat Daily News Redet (Regular Expression Development and Execution Tool) is a tool for developing and executing regular expressions using any of more than 20 search programs, editors, and programming languages. For each program in each locale a palette showing the available regular expression constructs is provided. The features of each program are determined by running a test suite, which guarantees that they will be correct for the particular program version in use and for the user's locale. The locale may be changed without exiting Redet. Selections from the palette may be copied to the regular expression window with a mouse click. Definitions can be added to the palette via an initialization file. The regular expressions executed are recorded in a history list, from which entries may be copied to the regular expression window with a mouse click. This allows complex regular expressions to be developed in pieces. When a suitable regular expression has been constructed it may be saved to a file. Named character classes may be defined in a file or entered interactively. As long as the underlying program supports Unicode, Redet fully supports UTF-8 Unicode. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes: Tests and palette entries are now provided for Java-style possessive quantifiers. Coordination of scrolling in the two sides of the palette has been improved. Guile substitution is now supported. Guile regular expression syntax errors are now trapped.
