BRET is a Python3/PyQt4 application made in order to help writers of regular expressions to test their RegExps.
BRET has 3 modes of using the regular expressions :
- Find matches : Text will be searched to find every part that match the regular expression, each match will be displayed.
- Search and replace : Text will be returned replacing each part that match the regular expression by a given expression.
- Split text : Text will be fragmented on each part that matches the regular expression.
The text can be typed directly, loaded from a file, or downloaded from the web. The text file need to be encoded in UTF-8.
In oreder to use BRET, both Python 3 and PyQt4 must be installed on your system.
