Hello, I'm the creator of this (trevmex is one of my co-workers).
I just want to thank everyone for the feedback so far, I am looking into the issues that have been brought up (they'll have to wait until this evening to be fixed though...I have a day job).
- dgreensp 14y agoVery cool visualizer!
- scott_s 14y agoNeat tool, I like how clear the visualizations are. It didn't work for me under Chrome on OSX, though. Chrome Version 23.0.1271.101, OSX 10.7.5.
- xymostech 14y agoWorks for me, Chrome 25.0.1364.5 dev, OS X 10.8.2. Maybe it's a stable version bug.
- SiVal 14y agoWhich means you need input from my platform, the third of the three combos: Works for me on Chrome 23.0.1271.101, OS X 10.8.2.
- scott_s 14y agoIt works now. Soon after trying this, a few pages were crashing with Chrome, and I restarted it. Chrome was most likely in some error state.
- Tycho 14y agoYou should build a tool that is the inverse of this. Let people build regular expressions by creating the visual diagram (some sort of click and drag GUI).
- jbrennan 14y agoI've always wondered why there doesn't already exist such a tool. Regex strings are so opaque and hard to read. We can't really fix that for code (short of building objects), but what we could fix is a better way to write them. A graphical tool to create them, built of units instead of just strings, and the output could still be a regex string.
- mpyne 14y agoKDE 3 had KRegExpEditor (http://www.blackie.dk/KDE/KRegExpEditor/ http://www.blackie.dk/KDE/KRegExpEditor/) but it only recently found someone interested in porting it to KDE 4.
- brendanib 14y ago+1 to this idea.

- joshguthrie 14y agoHi, thanks for this useful tool. A question though: a lot of people seem to encounter issues/50x errors with the server-side calculation of the regexp. Why not have a client-side script to interpret the regexp? Would save server ressources and wouldn't limit the user to server capacity to interpret more complex regexps.
- aymeric 14y agoYou should contact owners of regexp snippets websites like regexlib.com and allow them to embed your graphs next to their regexp.
- yannis 14y agoGreat work, thanks for making it.
- jsmeaton 14y agoThis visualisation threw me right back into my uni course when discussing state machine diagrams. Nice work!
