RegEx Generator
Free AppAbout RegEx Generator
This simple application will help building regular expressions, a.k.a. regex, with the help of a graphical user interface (GUI). You don't have to memorize complicated rules and grammar, just tick and type what you are looking for and the regex will be generated for you.
It also provides a Cheat Sheet to look up more complicated regex rules.
Enjoy!

This App produces “made to order” RegEx search string. It does that pretty well!

Android 6 allows the app to be moved to the inserted SD card. Could an app update be released that allows your app to be moved to "external storage" as Android 6 describes it? (Email address on app page is not working.)

Other than needing to extend the cheat sheet, this would be (hands down) the best regexp app that I've tested (of many)... however, the problems with the layout make it practically useless on smaller devices. The mid-section is scrunched to the point of being unreadable, which is completely unnecessary, since the margins are huge. It seems like the margins are included within the spacial calculations, rather than prioritizing the mid form, centering, and letting the margins shrink/grow, as needed.

Nice and simple app but when used with the Google keyboard, at the end the keyboard does not disappear and it is not possible to read the final regex. If you solve this problem, I will rate the app with 5 stars.

I think I'll update my rating and give it four stars. The reason why it wouldn't work is because I forgot to escape my slashes. b = \b

Keyboard doesn't drop out of the way so can't see answer. Useless. Sam gal s6.

I thought it would be a reminder for generating my own regexes, somewhat like a regex dictionary, like my own regex tester. But it does I don't even know what.

This app is a great tool for those new to the vast world of regular expressions, offering a simple interface that guides one through the construction of a simple regex with or without alternation. It even comes packaged with a small cheat sheet that covers basic wildcards and some other common syntax, which is a useful tool even for experienced "regexers." Don't expect this app to help you build expressions for anything more than basic matches, though.

I'm using tasker and autovoice which uses PCRE. Support for that would be the best. Paste to CLIPBOARD button ;)

it was great, awesome. now has new feature / permission for network - which for me drops it by 2 stars. sorry, but that's my personal feel. others may not mind it, so would be good to them still. Update: fine now, so updating rating too.
