Rugex is a simple tool for testing Ruby Regular Expressions using the terminal.

It can be useful if you often use regular expressions or if you are learning it.

gem install rugex

Open a terminal and run:

rugex [text] [regex]

rugex aquarius aqua

=> aqua rius

rugex 'new aquarius' aqua

=> new aqua rius

rugex aquarius ^a.+u

=> aquariu s

rugex aquarius 'a[qr]'

=> aq u ar ius

rugex -f [file path] [regex]

• Regex Options (i, m, x, o)
• It does not work in Windows OS.
• Show matches groups separately

• Check out the latest master to make sure the feature hasn’t been implemented or the bug hasn’t been fixed yet
• Check out the issue tracker to make sure someone already hasn’t requested it and/or contributed it
• Fork the project
• Start a feature/bugfix branch
• Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution
• Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.
• Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.
