#### 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.
