Let's be honest, none of us actually understand regular expressions. And if you say: "Yes, I do", well, you're lying. Let us help you generate the RegEx you need. Just type in what pattern you're looking for, using natural language. The AI will do the rest

Hey Hunters! 👋🏽 My name is David and I've been a fullstack developer for the last 6 years. In my day-to-day work I am constantly struggling with regular expressions. They are DIFFICULT, I don't think anyone can argue with that. I noticed I was time after time going to ChatGPT and asking: "Hey, act like a regex expert and give me a regular expression for blablabla...". So I decided to build RegexBot to simplify this process. 👉🏽 Ask the AI what pattern you need, using natural language 👉🏽 Need inspiration? Use the provided suggestions 👉🏽 Press "Enter" or the arrow button to generate the regular expression 👉🏽 Easily copy the RegEx to your clipboard 👉🏽 Open RegExr to test it 🚀 I hope this is useful for you and let me know any feedback you may have! Cheers 😄 You can follow me on X where I share my building in public journey

I think python’s regex package (called “re”) has a slightly different syntax, or at least requires regexs be R-strings. Does this product support copy/pasting into re-compatible code? Inside Python is the main way I use regex

@hunter_brooks oh I didn’t think in that. But maybe if you tell the AI that you want the python’s regex syntax it will work. You can try 😄 Thanks for your comment!

Hey @dfodev really helpful tool 👏🏻 I'm constantly using regex in my application so this is a huge time saver. Especially as you say, always entering the prompt intro with "act like a regex expert" is so boring and repetitive. Would be nice if you could also add a regex tester to remove another step and be able to test the regex directly against different examples. Great to see people building such cool tools in the public. Congrats on the launch 🚀

@crebuh thank you for your feedback and the kind words!! That’s a great idea, BTW! I just wanted to focus on one key feature and implement the most simple UI. But yes, allowing the user to test the RegEx directly in the same app is a huge improvement, I will consider it 😄

Let's be more honest, RegEx is much more difficult than coding as a whole😅 Very useful AI bot. Good going

Haha love the first part of the description "Let's be honest, none of us actually understand regular expressions". I can resonate - whenever I use regex I have to look the syntax up and it's very annoying. I tried out testing 'match a url with the domain meow.com and query parameter test=true' and it worked!! Great job on the tool 👏
