This is my first extension i have ever made and published. I was tired switching from Regex101 to VSCode all the time. So I made this extension to display groups and matches directlly in VSCode. Actually this is extension was vibe coded with Github Copilot.

Features

  • Highlighting of matches and groups
  • Outputs the strings of all detected matches and groups
  • When clicking anywhere in the editor, the highlighting disapears.
  • Accessible thruogh a button in the header of the open tab.

Known Issues

  • Highlighting sometimes make text hard to read on specific themes.
  • You can always run one RegEx at a time and u have to reopen the extension
  • Theres only a text "Find RegEx" in the header of the tab. In the future i want to change that to an icon.

Release Notes

0.1.5

I added RegEx flags, which can be specified after you typed in the RegEx itself.
