Search Results for "regular expressions"

grepWin is a simple search and replace tool which can use regular expressions to do its job. This allows to do much more powerful searches and replaces. Note: project has moved to GitHub https://github.com/stefankueng/grepWin

Java regular expression matching

Visual pattern matching with regular expression search tool

This utility is intended to help in search or grep for multiple content in multiple locations for multiple file types. For help/usage, see the wiki page: https://sourceforge.net/p/searcher/wiki/Home/

...Unlike traditional search tools, it performs real-time searches directly on disk — no indexing, no background services, and no stale results. Powered by ripgrep, it delivers fast, accurate results with support for regular expressions, file filtering, and live previews. Available for macOS, Windows, and Linux (AppImage, .deb, .rpm). On Linux, no installation is required — just download and run the AppImage.

...It achieves its high performance by indexing the filesystem and updating that index in real time, so as you create, rename, or delete files the results stay up to date without noticeable lag. The intuitive user interface supports incremental search — where results filter as you type — plus features like regular expressions, case-sensitivity options, and customizable indexing scopes, making it both powerful and accessible. Designed with GTK and written in C, it integrates nicely with desktop environments like GNOME, XFCE, and Cinnamon while still being lightweight and resource-efficient. Developers and power users appreciate FSearch for dramatically reducing the time it takes to find files compared to traditional search tools, especially on large partitions.

Search and replace operations on file content accross multiple files. Recursive operations within entire directory trees. FAR comes with support for regular expressions (regex) over multiple lines, automatic backup and various character encodings. Run grep like extractions to condense or rearrange sources, or perform bulk file renaming.

Power searching on your desktop without the pain. Perform powerful desktop searches without having to index your system using regular expressions. Graphical equivalent to find/grep. Available for Windows (JAVA) and Linux (Gnome & KDE) and easy to translate into your locale.

...Filetype filtering is first-class: you can target languages by name (--perl, --python, --js) or define your own groups, and ack maps common extensions automatically. Results are colorized with context options, PCRE regular expressions are supported, and output is tuned for quick scanning across many files. The tool respects .gitignore and its own ignore mechanisms, and it offers sensible defaults that require minimal flags for day-to-day use. By optimizing for developer workflows rather than raw POSIX compatibility, ack2 helps you navigate large codebases with less typing and less cognitive load.

Tautomaton is a C++11 -template library for deterministic (DFA) and non-deterministic finite automata (NFA). It supports regular expressions and efficient input matching of multiple regexps simultaneously. The library comes with a somewhat grep-like command-line tool for showcasing these features.

RegExpresso is a "regular expressions" tester, designed to integrate well into modern web browsers. Though it has few features compared to commercial products, it should be usefull to any programmer who uses regular expressions.

Power searching without the pain. Perform powerful desktop searches without having to index your system using regular expressions. Graphical equivalent to grep. Fork have new features like displaying context of files and "Open With" menu in Linux with KDE.

Filter files in Eclipse Navigator panel using patterns and regular expressions. Apply filters to specific folders, packages, or projects! Install this plug-in now from within Eclipse using update site http://eclipseresfltr.sourceforge.net/update

A program designed to walk the Windows registry and match keys, values, and data with regular expressions. Matched items can be deleted or the branch they are on can be pruned to a particular depth.
