I am requesting to add group naming in the application when generating regex. The good regex will be provided depending on the JVM that will be used by the user.
Thanks for your interest in Regex Creator. Some questions:
1- You posted this in the bug section but it looks more like a feature request. Am I correct in assuming this is a feature request?
2- Can you give more details on what you would like? Do you mean that the generated regex should include group names? Where would these names come from? From the Field Names?
3- I don't understand this part : "The good regex will be provided depending on the JVM that will be used by the user."
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Thank you for your reply.
Please, see bellow my answers for above questions :
1- You are right it is a feature request. I will post it in this section
2- I noticed that in the "Field Definition" section, when you create a group by clicking on the button "Create Group From Selection", you can change the default name (Group1, Group2,GroupN...) with another name by typing the name in the field "Field Name". I think it should be interesting to generate the regex with a named group but... (please refer to section 3-)
3- As the group naming feature has been introduced in JAVA 7, the generated regex will work fine depending on the version of the JVM on which the regex will run (JAVA 6 for example)

Ok, seems like a useful feature. I'll look into that.
About #3, I'm not sure I understand precisely, but what I'm thinking about is to make Java 7 a prerequisite to run Regex Creator, and to have an option to generate or not named groups in the regex. This way the regex can be used in Java 6 and 7 applications. What do you think?

It is the best way to do it. You are right ! There are also many features that I will ask you to implement. I will send it in the new features section in a few days.

Hi Emmanuel,
I haven't forgotten your request. It's taking longer because I'm doing some changes to support Java 7.
