-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 * Package name : redet Version : 6.5 Upstream Author : William J. Poser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~wjposer/redet.html * License : GPL Description : regular expression development and execution tool Redet allows the user to construct regular expressions and test them against input data by executing any of a variety of search programs, editors, and programming languages that make use of regular expressions. When a suitable regular expression has been constructed it may be saved to a file. redet stands for Regular Expression Development and Execution Tool. For each program, a palette showing the available regular expression syntax is provided. Selections from the palette may be copied to the regular expression window with a mouse click. Users may add their own definitions to the palette via their initialization file. Redet also keeps a list of the regular expressions executed, from which entries may be copied back into the regular expression under construction. The history list is saved to a file and restored on startup, so it persists across sessions. So long as the underlying program supports Unicode, redet allows UTF-8 Unicode in both test data and regular expressions. Comparision with other similar tools: * Redet supports many programs. Most other regexp tools are aimed at a single language or style of regular expression. * Redet determines the properties of the programs that actually execute the regular expressions empirically. This guarantees that the version of the program you are using will actually behave as described. It also makes it likely that if new features are added to a program's regular expression repertoire, they will be detected and shown on the palette without any modification to the program. * Redet is explicitly designed for use in a variety of languages and writing systems. It provides the ability to change locale without exiting and reports whether Unicode support is available for each combination of program and locale. It provides special support for Unicode, such as lists of Unicode ranges and character properties. Redet itself is fully internationalized. By adding a suitable translation catalogue, buttons, labels, and messages may all be provided in any language. * Most regular expression tools are useful for constructing and understanding regular expressions but are not designed for use as search environments. Redet provides a number of facilities that make it a good search environment, including a relatively large, re-sizable text window, the ability to enter both regular expressions and data in various ways and to save them to files, editable, persistent history, and journalling. * Redet handles both matching and substitution. Most programs deal only with matching. * Redet allows the user to define named character classes and to intersect them. - -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.4.27-2-686 Locale: LANG=pl_PL, LC_CTYPE=pl_PL (charmap=ISO-8859-2) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFCnBLshQui3hP+/EARAnkUAKDNprseGrGeNATPicQxvNNnG3sGewCfUdQM ZJlUrRXg/M72XnsBhtKuGNU= =+8ki -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
