Interactive Regex Tool

Hello, 

 

It was be nice if we could see the Regex Tool be a little more interactive. I am thinking a little more similar to the Formula tool where you can have expression display. I often use this site first https://regex101.com/  to practice a Regex formula before applying it. I love how this site highlights the data as you build the expression and also provide a comprehensive quick reference. Just an idea to make it easier for those non Regex experts. 

 

Thanks, 

 

Derek

Hey @dtokarz312

 

Fully agree with you - the RegEx tool is a bit tough to use.   There's another version of this idea here (well worth you adding your comments there too)

and @jdunkerley79 did some work on this on this thread too.
