RegExp Search and Highlight
RegExp Search and Highlight is a free Chrome add-on developed by Alexandr Pudich. This add-on is designed to facilitate text log analysis by allowing users to find text content using regular expressions and highlight it, or collapse unnecessary blocks. Additionally, users can add "url matches" to enable the add-on permanently on specific domains or pages.
The add-on offers several features to enhance the user experience. It provides local storage of preferences, allowing users to customize their settings. Users can also import and export profiles, making it easy to transfer settings between devices. The add-on allows users to enable or disable it on a per-tab basis, providing flexibility in its usage. Users can also customize the work mode, enabling regular expression matching on specific URLs.
One of the notable features of RegExp Search and Highlight is the ability to change colors for each regular expression and collapse block. This allows users to visually differentiate between different highlighted text or collapsed blocks. The add-on also handles sequential text elements, bypassing the built-in element constraints imposed by Chrome. Additionally, it notifies activated tabs when a profile is modified.
Although there are a few features that are still in progress, such as storing pages in cache for function reruns and adding locales, the source code is available on GitHub for users to fork, discuss, and contribute to its improvement.
RegExp Search and Highlight is a useful tool for those who need to analyze text logs and find specific content using regular expressions. With its customizable features and user-friendly interface, it provides a convenient solution for text analysis within the Chrome browser.
