Regex Generation Program

[Ron]

I’ve purchased RegExMagic2 (https://www.regexmagic.com/flavors.html) to try and create my own regex search and replaces. But it has a big list of “Flavors”, and I can’t seem to pick one that works for NPP.

Is there a different application (windows) that I can use to create my regex search and replace strings?

@Ron ,

I don’t use such tools, so I have none to recommend. But as far as the “flavor” of regex goes, Notepad++ uses the Boost regex engine (currently, v1.85) – which is item #17 in the list you linked to, so the tool you have seems to imply it should be able to do Notepad++ compatible regex.

@PeterJones Thank you! That one did work (I thought I had tried it before I posted and it didn’t work.). But it worked when I tried it again!
