From: Craig Kim Date: 2006-07-09T00:42:36+09:00 Subject: Re: OT: Regexp buddy I can't say that I support RegexBuddy 100%. At a glance, it's a very powerful and comes with many useful features that appear to be robust. Their library of regex is quite excellent that you can get a lot of help very quickly. It can generate Ruby/Perl/Python/Java code to support regular expressions. However, it has problems dealing with language specific regular expressions and breaks down when an expression gets a bit complicated. Also, when I contacted the support, I never hear from them at all! Bottom line: if you like the features it supports and find them useful, buy it. I think it provides a great way to learn and experiment. If you're well versed in regular expressions, it may not help you much. If you're looking for support, I hope that you have a lot of time and patience! --Craig ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dark Ambient" To: "ruby-talk ML" Sent: Saturday, July 08, 2006 9:46 AM Subject: Re: OT: Regexp buddy > Should have asked this in my original post, but just thought of it. > Does it make a good learning tool for regexp ? > > Stuart > > On 7/8/06, Pete wrote: >> Dark Ambient schrieb: >> > Curious too know if anyone uses or has used the product Regex Buddy ? >> > It supposedly supports Ruby regexp and is supposed to make the use of >> > regular expressions a lot easier. >> > btw, I'm not connected to the software or company but would like to >> > know how it fits in with Ruby programming. >> > >> > Stuart >> it's a great tool, I _love_ it... >> >> It prevents you from doing stupid little mistakes that take you hours to >> find out... >> >> you can even debug you regex and learn a lot! >> >> ruby (and lot's of other languages / regex flavours) got some decent >> support and >> you can even create fancy little code snippets with it! >> >> regards >> Peter >> >> >> > > >
