RegexFormat 6 introduces many new components unavailable in the previous version(5).

It is a full featured Unicode version, with an emphasis on power.

Integrated throughout the application is a complete regex testing harness powered by Boost’s

and integrates into a find/replace paradigm. An infinite number of regular expression items

can be created and stored into Macro Libraries. Items can be tested/re-tested right from the

document, stored in a library or in a document, be made into menu items, and exist as re-usable

application objects.

There is precise control available when running a macro item (regex). You can control what to test

and positional, where to test. It’s as simple as positioning the cursor and hitting F-3.

All actions dynamically update a heads-up Match results pane.

In essence, the RegexFormat 6 engine does externally what language engines do internally (requiring

long code sections) in a dynamic and very fast user interface. This is absolutely the fastest way to

analyze and design regular expressions.

Other accessories were added: Full featured Hex Editor. Expanded Mega-String that now does parsing

of any string(s) combination’s.

All these new features (and old) are a fully integrated part of the Application, accessible from anywhere

at anytime.
