Best REGEXP friendly text editors + the most powerful REGEXP syntax?

I am fluent in Microsoft Visual 2005 regular expressions, and they are a big time saver.

It seems that I’ll teach them best of all if I vaguely organized a deceiver attacked me, and at that moment I read a little and play with them until I understand what is happening. This teaching method works well for me, for now.

I would really like to do this to the next level. Primarily -

  • What is the REGEXP agreement, which is usually considered the most open and powerful? VS2005 Regexps seem like gimped, so maybe I play in the sandbox.

  • Are there any text editors that can highlight all matches, lines of lines containing a line, or some powerful function like this, combined with the most powerful REGEXP language? If not, I can just use some programs and a strange technique, but I would like to avoid it.

I wonder if a stronger REGEXP language or a “stronger" regEXP writer can find his result for all the results on all lines, even by clicking "find next", adding some simple search criteria.

In any case, please provide advice!

The best text editor for regular expression support is EditPadPro , Jan Goewaerts, creator of RegexBuddy , PowerGREP and RegexMagic , author of regular-expressions.info and co-author of Regular Expression Book .

It uses regular expressions for many things, including syntax highlighting, code folding, file type detection, and more, and is therefore very powerful and highly customizable. Another editor I love, UltraEdit , has a decent regex engine, but it doesn't match the JGSoft engine, and it's just without exaggeration. For example, syntax highlighting is not performed using a regular expression.

The JGSoft engine is currently a regular expression engine that supports most of the functions that regular expressions can offer, see this comparison table . The current version of RegexBuddy has even added support for recursive pattern matching, such as .NET and PCRE, but the Regex EditPad Pro engine currently still uses the previous version (but will be updated).

Of course, RegexBuddy integrates easily into EditPadPro, so you can get both an editor with excellent regular expression support and a great regular expression editor.

And by the way, the mobile version of EPP for installation on a USB drive is included in the price of the desktop version (the same with RegexBuddy and others).

I never used it myself, but I hear a lot of praise.
