#### Interactive regex matcher, AST token explainer, and multi-language exporter

Visual Regex Tester is a desktop pattern-matching workbench for building, debugging,
and exporting regular expressions on Linux. Powered by Python's regex engine and
syntax parser, it highlights numbered and named capture groups in distinct pastel
tones, previews live find-and-replace substitutions, and explains every token in
an interactive AST tree.

Key Features:

* Live Match Highlighter & Group Inspector: Evaluate expressions with IGNORECASE,
  MULTILINE, DOTALL, and VERBOSE flags, inspect numbered and named capture groups
  with span offsets, and test live substitution templates.
* Regex AST Token Explainer: Parse pattern structure into a human-readable
  token-by-token tree with quantifiers, character classes, anchors, and a visual
  syntax error locator with exact column pointer.
* Curated Pattern Library & Code Exporter: Browse tested patterns for Email, ISO
  Date, SemVer, IPv4, URL, UUID, and CSV fields, and export ready-to-run Python,
  JavaScript, POSIX grep -E scripts, or JSON test suites.

## Enable snaps on openSUSE and install Visual Regex Tester

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

Snap can be installed from the command line on openSUSE Leap 15.x and Tumbleweed.

You need first add the *snappy* repository from the terminal. Choose the appropriate command depending on your installed openSUSE flavor.

Tumbleweed:

```
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Tumbleweed snappy
```

Leap 15.x:

```
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.6 snappy
```

If needed, Swap out `openSUSE_Leap_15.` for, `openSUSE_Leap_16.0` if you’re using a different version of openSUSE.

With the repository added, import its GPG key:

```
sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh
```

Finally, upgrade the package cache to include the new *snappy* repository:

```
sudo zypper dup --from snappy
```

Snap can now be installed with the following:

```
sudo zypper install snapd
```

You then need to either reboot, logout/login or `source /etc/profile` to have /snap/bin added to PATH.
Additionally, enable and start both the *snapd* and the *snapd.apparmor* services with the following commands:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor
```
