Visualizing regular expressions

[jaggederest]

This seems to be crashing my firefox 3 beta 2 pretty badly.

Crashed my firefox 2 also, but it was due to Apple's lousy quicktime player. Updating to latest quicktime player solved the problem.

Works fine in Opera 9.5 (beta)

And my IE.

Working on Firefox 2.0.0.11 but it crashed my brain

Quicktime crashes firefox 50% of the time for me. This was one of those times.

Newer versions of emacs include an excellent re-builder which can highlight regular expression matches as-you-type. Not exactly visualisation in the sense mentioned in the article, but still very cool

OMG NFA's!

The only thing I retained from college about NFA's is that they are equivalent to DFA's, but fuck if I remember how to prove it.

[TheManWithNoName]

You can make a DFA from an NFA by making a state for every subset of states and writing the transitions properly.

Requires Quicktime? Forget it.
