However, I was wondering if could I ask for any other official method (such as plugins, userscripts, etc.) to make it directly work in RegEx 101. It's easy and super useful in my Thank you, and I understand your point. Also add a download button in my opinion, to give the entire file in matches.json, matches.csv, and matches.txt format. I'd be really grateful if this could be added to RegEx 101! :)

Please, there is almost no reason not to do this. I really encourage any exporting options to be added in the future, if any other dev have ideas, written a code, or requires some kind of processing to be done on the output. You need to first test and debug it before use it, which is what RegEx 101 for! It already has tons of RegExes in its library which users contribute too, I can save my own ones where I can use them in the future, it is a web application which means I can use it virtually almost anywhere on any operating system with access to internet, and most important of all, writing RegEx is not something that you can quite get it right at the first try. I see no harm in RegEx 101 be also a processing and extraction tool as it is for testing and debugging. If you are concerned about cluttering the visual (which I also understand), the solution is to simply add a tiny icon to the page, which upon click shows the export "options". My theory is if it doesn't have any harm to add more features, and the code is written (or easy to write), why not add the feature. The code is simple, easy to write, and most of it is ready – and I can and want to contribute if it's possible to add this feature.īelieve, it makes no sense to copy the output from RegEx 101 and paste it to my own web app just to remove duplicate entries.


However I have three reasons as to why this is reasonable in my opinion.

I agree, and I actually use Notepad++ for my text processings.
