Subject: how would you debug complex regexp searches??

Message-ID: <bkiq6v$301$1@news2.netvision.net.il> (raw)

Hello:

How would one go about debugging complicated regular expressions? Is there
some way of single-stepping through a regexp matching, so that I can see all
the characters that were matched?

Thanks,

Mayer
