Search and Replace Regular Expression Wizard

Search and Replace Regular Expression Wizard is a handy tool designed as a portable version of the original software. It's made for folks who want to debug regular expressions created by the Search and Replace tool. This software is perfect for those who know their way around PCs!

No Installation Needed

The best part? You don't have to install anything! Just save the program files anywhere on your computer, or even better, keep it on a USB flash drive. You can launch Search and Replace Regular Expression Wizard right from there on any PC without any fuss. It's super convenient since it doesn't mess with your Windows registry settings.

Simplicity Over Style

This tool isn't about fancy looks. The main window works like a wizard where you follow simple steps to complete tasks.

Loading Your Text

You can kick things off by loading a text document directly from your files or just paste whatever you have copied to your clipboard.

Specify Your Expressions

You'll need to tell the tool what regular expression you want to find and what to replace it with. There's also an option for case sensitivity, so you can decide if that matters for your task.

Expression Options Galore!

The app lets you see sample text and pick how many times you want it matched—once, zero or more times, or maybe even just at the beginning or end of lines. Plus, you can choose which expressions to match or avoid!

User-Friendly Code List

A handy list of possible regex codes is shown, so you can easily check out which ones fit your needs. Feel free to add as many codes as you'd like and arrange them however you wish!

Edit Before Committing Changes

The next step shows what the replaced text will look like. You can tweak the expression types here too, changing them to uppercase or lowercase if needed. Before finalizing everything, take a moment to review both the source text and output. Then, decide whether to make those changes permanent or go back for tweaks.

Smooth Performance

This software runs smoothly during tests without causing any crashes or slowdowns in our system! It keeps resource use low—needing very little CPU and RAM while completing tasks quickly.

A Few Areas for Improvement

While Search and Replace Regular Expression Wizard does its job well, its interface could use some sprucing up in terms of looks and organization. Also, remember that it hasn't had updates in quite a while. But overall, it's an effective utility for debugging those tricky regular expressions!
