My First Open Source Contribution
December 22, 2009
I have been a professional software developer for close to five years now and have been able to code for close to ten. In all this time I haven’t bothered to contribute a single line of code to any open source project. That changed Monday December 21st 2009 at 03:43:29 UTC when I committed the code for a Notepad++ plugin that I wrote. The plugin is called RegEx Helper and it provides you with a convenient way to test regular expression against open documents. I created a project for the plugin on sourceforge. Lastly, if you have not tried Notepad++ go download a copy and try it out. I use it whenever I work with code outside of an IDE.

1. Can you tell me whether the RegEx Helper is enough strong to test regex ?
the notepad++ with RegEx Helper and emeditor whose Regex is more strong?
2.Can you add a function “replace” in the RegEx Helper?

Hi,
It would be nice if you would allow to select all results matching the regular expression.
The of the Notepad++ Find is not always working properly if we try to find with regex and a little help from your plugin would be great.
Thanks in advance

Sorry, I’ve stopped working on this plugin for now. I no longer have a copy of Delphi so it’s unlikely that I’ll make changes in the future. The source is not that complicated and it’s available on sourceforge.
