RegexSearch is a Java application that performs find and find-and-replace searches for regular expressions on multiple text files.
Here are some key features of "RegexSearch":
It can search for literal text or regular expressions.
The search can be performed on a single file, on a directory (with optional recursion) or on the files and directories listed in a text file. Files can be included in and excluded from the search by means of filters.
Occurrences of the target expression within each file are displayed in a scrollable window, with the matched text highlighted.
Occurrences of the target expression can be replaced individually or globally. If the target is a regular expression, the replacement can include arbitrary parts of the matched text.
Replacements can be previewed, then accepted or rejected.
The parsing and matching of regular expressions is performed by the robust Java regular expression package. The syntax of Java's regular expressions is similar to that of Perl.
The results of a search (number of matches, number of replacements) are displayed for each file in which a match is found.
Requirements:
Java 1.4.2 or later
What's New in This Release:
Modifications:
A default location for the configuration file has been introduced: there are now three possible locations for the configuration file. If there a system property with the key app.configPath, RegexSearch looks for a configuration file in the directory specified by that property; otherwise, it looks for a configuration file in the current working directory ($PWD on Linux/UNIX platforms) before trying the default directory, which is ${user.home}/.puckfist/regexsearch, where ${user.home} is the user's home directory ($HOME on Linux/UNIX platforms). If the configuration has changed when you exit the application, a configuration file is written to the location from which one was read at startup, or, if no configuration file was read, to the default directory.
