;;; Commentary:

;; When I have to come up with regular expressions that are more
;; complex than simple string matchers, especially if they contain sub
;; expressions, I find myself spending quite some time in the
;; `development cycle'.  `re-builder' aims to shorten this time span
;; so I can get on with the more interesting bits.

;; With it you can have immediate visual feedback about how well the
;; regexp behaves to your expectations on the intended data.

;; When called up `re-builder' attaches itself to the current buffer
;; which becomes its target buffer, where all the matching is done.
;; The active window is split so you have a view on the data while
;; authoring the RE.  If the edited expression is valid the matches in
;; the target buffer are marked automatically with colored overlays
;; (for non-color displays see below) giving you feedback over the
;; extents of the matched (sub) expressions.  The (non-)validity is
;; shown only in the modeline without throwing the errors at you.  If
;; you want to know the reason why RE Builder considers it as invalid
;; call `reb-force-update' ("\C-c\C-u") which should reveal the error.

;; The `re-builder' keeps the focus while updating the matches in the
;; target buffer so corrections are easy to incorporate.  If you are
;; satisfied with the result you can paste the RE to the kill-ring
;; with `reb-copy' ("\C-c\C-w"), quit the `re-builder' ("\C-c\C-q")
;; and use it wherever you need it.

;; As the automatic updates can take some time on large buffers, they
;; can be limited by `reb-auto-match-limit' so that they should not
;; have a negative impact on the editing.  Setting it to nil makes
;; even the auto updates go all the way.  Forcing an update overrides
;; this limit allowing an easy way to see all matches.

;; Currently `re-builder' understands four different forms of input,
;; namely `read', `string', `sregex' and `lisp-re' syntax.  Read
;; syntax and string syntax are both delimited by `"'s and behave
;; according to their name.  With the `string' syntax there's no need
;; to escape the backslashes and double quotes simplifying the editing
;; somewhat.  The other two allow editing of symbolic regular
;; expressions supported by the packages of the same name.  (`lisp-re'
;; is a package by me and its support may go away as it is nearly the
;; same as the `sregex' package in Emacs)

;; Editing symbolic expressions is done through a major mode derived
;; from `emacs-lisp-mode' so you'll get all the good stuff like
;; automatic indentation and font-locking etc.

;; When editing a symbolic regular expression, only the first
;; expression in the RE Builder buffer is considered, which helps
;; limiting the extent of the expression like the `"'s do for the text
;; modes.  For the `sregex' syntax the function `sregex' is applied to
;; the evaluated expression read.  So you can use quoted arguments
;; with something like '("findme") or you can construct arguments to
;; your hearts delight with a valid ELisp expression.  (The compiled
;; string form will be copied by `reb-copy')  If you want to take
;; a glance at the corresponding string you can temporarily change the
;; input syntax.

;; Changing the input syntax is transparent (for the obvious exception
;; non-symbolic -> symbolic) so you can change your mind as often as
;; you like.

;; There is also a shortcut function for toggling the
;; `case-fold-search' variable in the target buffer with an immediate
;; update.


;; Q: But what if my display cannot show colored overlays?
;; A: Then the cursor will flash around the matched text making it stand
;;    out.

;; Q: But how can I then make out the sub-expressions?
;; A: Thats where the `sub-expression mode' comes in.  In it only the
;;    digit keys are assigned to perform an update that will flash the
;;    corresponding subexp only.
