play with regexp online:
http://neoneye.dk/regexp.rbx
Why did you played with regexp on the demo site?
the regexp page is very helpful, cool really.
I am happy that you like it 
I have been thinking about extending it so it can explain in more verbose
what a regexp does. See this url for example:
http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=383&group_id=18&atid=152
I hope you can do something like this for your other packages as well
(aeditor eg, -who knows aeditor may just run on a browser!). This way,
people can see your contribs in action before they download just to test.
And since you know your product better, you can display/demo all the needing
testings. And they can thus say “ah, it’s working”. [I hope other packagers
will have some demo page as well. Is this possible w Rubyforge or
something??]. Hope I wasn’t asking too much
An editor web frontend, that new. Its sligthly more complex to move a cursor around,
and send the position back to a server, rendering and transfer buffer text.
It may require either JavaScipt or Java. I rather spend some time on finishing
the sub-components: regexp, rubyembed, coverage… Sorry no web frontend this time.
I could make some animated gif’s, or a whole movie of the editor in action?
However you are on to something, AEditor is too complex to install, because
of the dependency on Ncurses. I have long been thinking about making a frontend
for Curses which is distributed with Ruby, so that compilation of Ncurses can
be avoided. However I plan to make a Fox widget, which can do some nice antialiased
rendering and do other fancy graphics stuff. However regexp has top priority.
I’m testing the sample. And the regexp.tree is cool
Great. BTW: Do you have ideas to how ‘regexp.tree’ can be made even cooler ?
I’ve modified a bit the interactive.rb to include this:
[snip patch]
Thanks for the patch… I have added it 
patch interactive.rb x
Hmm… Looks like a normal diff to me…
Patching file interactive.rb using Plan A…
Hunk #1 succeeded at 18.
done
ruby interactive.rb
Syntax is: interactive
defaulting to ‘((ab)*x)’+ for
defaulting to ‘0ababxx1’ for
±Repeat greedy{1,-1}
±Group register=1
±Sequence
±Repeat greedy{0,-1}
> ±Group register=2
> ±Sequence
> ±Literal “a”
> ±Literal “b”
±Literal “x”
0<>1
[“ababxx”, “x”, “ab”]
btw, a stupid question: how do you run the web_interface.rb? I’m using
windowsxp actually.
I run it via ‘mod_ruby’ through apache. I think it also can be run with FastCGI, but
I have never tried it out. I have made a link named ‘regexp.rbx’ pointing at that
file in my www folder.
Bommer, I forgot to write these instructions in the top of ‘web_interface.rb’.
botp, Thanks for your reply, It has been helpful to me.
