Description

RegEx Knife is an easy and useful tool for working with Regular Expressions. RegEx Knife is unique in how it allows you to highlight capture groups within a Regular Expression, edit them and immediately see the results. RegEx Knife also makes it easy to experiment with regular expression substitutions.

Version 2 retains the simplicity of the original RegEx Knife, with the added advantage that it works on your iPhone as well as your iPad.

Tool for what?

Developer should integrate this into shortcuts where it will actually be useful for different types of extractions and maybe a different more up to date UI

Works for basic regexes and that’s it

It’s nice for simple regexes. Unfortunately, I wanted to use a conditional substitution, but the syntax for that varies by engine and the app doesn’t specify what uses. Would be 5 stars otherwise.

Needs a Dark Mode update

Excellent tool for fine tuning regular expressions with clear visual feedback.

The custom keyboard keys are equally clever, but turn invisible in Dark Mode. Fortunately it's usable without them.
