Rexv.org – powerful regex evaluator
Category: PHP, Programming
, Testing
, Toolkit
We wrote before about some ajax regex tools to help test regular expressions. Recently we came upon rexv.org, which really is the swiss army knife of online reg ex tools. It supports three different regex modes: PHP PCRE, PHP Posix, javascript. Also includes options for greediness, case sensitivity, unicode, and others.
It evaluates your regex in real time, and also has some a nice tab on the left with syntax help. Browser support is listed as:
- Internet Expolorer 5+.
- Mozilla Firefox 1.0+
- Opera 7.54+
- Safari 1.2+’
I know I can use all the help I can get with regex, so I love seeing more tools available like this.

Now if somebody would just make a regex tool for people who are completely out of their league when it comes to regex (like me). How about a tool that lets me paste in a bunch of text and then select the part I want to pull out with a regular expression and then it creates the expression for me?
The good old JavaScript Console in Firefox works a treat as well, or the JavaScript Shell (bookmarklet) for that matter.
