Documentation

Construct a regexp interactively.

This command makes the current buffer the "target" buffer of the regexp builder. It displays a buffer named "*RE-Builder*" in another window, initially containing an empty regexp.

As you edit the regexp in the "*RE-Builder*" buffer, the matching parts of the target buffer will be highlighted.

Case-sensitivity can be toggled with M-x reb-toggle-case (reb-toggle-case). The regexp builder supports three different forms of input which can be set with M-x reb-change-syntax (reb-change-syntax). More options and details are provided in the Commentary section of this library.
