- ^txt2regex$
^txt2regex$ is a regular expression (generally mentioned and used as
Regex ) wizard that leads the user through the construction of a regular expression by asking a series of questions. The regular expression is generated in the notation used by: AWK, GAWK, MAWK, ed, egrep,Emacs ,expect ,find ,grep , lex, Lisp,MySQL ,OpenOffice.org ,Perl ,PHP ,PostgreSQL ,Procmail , Python,Sed ,Tcl ,VBscript ,Vi , and Vim.It is a useful tool for users with little or no knowledge of regular expressions and so is included in several Linux distributions, includingDebian , Gentoo,Knoppix , andMandriva , inFreeBSD , and inFink forMac OS X .Although graphical interfaces have typically followed command line interfaces, ^txt2regex$ is unusual in providing a command line interface for a function usually, and previously, provided by means of a graphical user interface. It is also unusual in interacting with the user to facilitate the use of what is generally regarded as a technical tool unsuitable for naive users and in supporting multiple regular expression notations.
