Recon - Regular Expression Test Console

Recon provides an interactive testing environment for building Python regular expressions.

recon.py - 15k

TweakRecon.py - 22k - An improved version by Fredrik Corneliusson. Has scrollbars, line numbers, history, and more. Requires Python 2.x (not exactly sure which minor version is required).

Notes:

• The "re" module is used for evaluating the regular expression.  The syntax help and flags help were taken from the re module documentation.
• The result of the match is shown by the blue parentheses inserted in the Result window.  If there are groups within the expression, the text matched by each group is shown in nested parens.
• The options shown in the checkboxes (with the exception of "Find All") correspond to the flags parameter in the re.search(pattern, string [, flags]) function.
• The "Find All" option matches all non-overlapping occurrences in the text, similar to the re.findall(pattern, string) function.
