RegExView is a Eclipse view for matching character sequences against patterns specified by regular expressions. The software is written in Java (J2SDK 1.4 or higher). The software is implemented as a Eclipse IDE plug-in and is visualized as a simple view with three text fields, a check box and a button.

Developers using this software in Eclipse IDE can enter a regular expression and a character sequence and evaluate the patterns by pressing a button. The patterns found in the character sequence by the regular expression are displayed in two ways. First with a different text color in the original character sequence for easy visual recognition and second in a separate text field where every pattern is listed separately with its start and end index in relation to the original character sequence.

Features

• Live evaluation.
• Change forground and background colors of matching and non-matching areas.
