Greatly Improved Benchmarking

The benchmarking feature has always had a couple of shortcomings.
  1. It covered up the lower-half of the application as you used it.
  2. You couldn't easily revert back to the best performing regular expression.  Or you had to rely on your memory to know what performed best.
Well I think I managed to come up with a pretty good solution for both problems.  First, you'll notice that the benchmarking feature now sits in its own panel below the rest of the UI.  If your screen resolution isn't high enough there will be a vertical scroll bar so you can still scroll to see everything.

And then to solve the second problem I knew I needed to make some bigger changes.  I realized that a configurable number of iterations was adding unnecessary complexity.  Instead I simply run the benchmark for one second.  And now we can rely solely on the iterations per second figure.  And then I decided to go the bar graph route.  Each time you hit "Start" to run a benchmark, a new bar is added to the graph.  You can then click a bar and the regular expression, target string, replacement string, and regex options will all be set to the exact state represented by that bar.  This makes it exceptionally easy to make incremental changes and ultimately find the combination that performs the best.

If you're already a Regex Hero Professional user you should see these changes immediately in the web version.  Or, if you're running the desktop version, simply open Regex Hero to automatically download the update, and then close and re-open it for the update to take effect.

Regex Hero for Windows 10 is Underway

Awhile back I began working on an HTML5 / JavaScript version of Regex Hero . However, it was a huge undertaking essentially requiring a complete rewrite of the entire application. I have not had enough time to dedicate to this lately. So I've begun again, this time rewriting Regex Hero to work in WPF. It'll be usable in Windows 10 and downloadable from the Microsoft Store. This is a much easier task that also has the advantage of running the .NET regex library from the application itself. This will allow for the same speedy experience of testing your regular expressions and getting instant feedback that Regex Hero users have always enjoyed. I expect the first release to be ready in Q4 of 2019.

Optimizing Your Regular Expressions

Regular expressions will backtrack.  That's an unfortunate thing about them because backtracking can be slow.    And in certain (rare) cases the performance can become so awful that executing the regular expression against a relatively short string could take over a minute.  There's a good article about catastrophic backtracking over at regular-expressions.info . And today I created a video about all of this called  Regex Lesson 5: Optimization .  In the video I start with a very poorly written regular expression and make several improvements to it, using the benchmarking feature along the way.  By the end of the video I make the regular expression over 3 million times faster. In addition, today's update to Regex Hero provides a little message in the event that you encounter a regular expression that takes over 10 seconds to evaluate... And then last of all, I changed the benchmarking feature a bit.  In the past it would simply test your regular expression against

Regex Analysis Bug Fixes

All of these updates relate to the analyzer, so if you're not a Regex Hero Professional user, then this won't affect you. I received a report of an analysis bug  related to character classes.  The regex analyzer wouldn't handle opening brackets inside a character class properly. It's one of the finer details of the regular expression syntax.  You wouldn't think that [[abc] would be valid, but it is.  You don't have to escape the opening bracket inside the character class.  So now the analyzer interprets this as it should. I've also fixed bugs around interpreting the \x00 (hex), \u0000 (unicode), and \k<group>  (backreference) expressions. P.S. The major updates I mentioned recently are still in the works.  So the price for Regex Hero Professional is still $20 for now.
