# rgx
An interface for writing and checking [PCRE](http://www.pcre.org) regular expressions.
[rgx](http://www.rgx.com) is similar to what [Rubular](http://www.rubular.com) is for Ruby's regexes.
## Spec
**Capture sample**
```javascript
{
"offset": Array(Number, Number),
"captures": Array(Array(Number,Number)),
"status": "RC_MATCH"
}
```
**Bad pattern sample**
```javascript
{
"status": "RC_BADPATTERN",
"error": String
}
```
## The Lua part
Uses [lrexlib-pcre](http://rrthomas.github.com/lrexlib/manual.html) to test a PCRE
pattern on a subject.
The script can be invoked with a pattern and a subject to
test and the results will be thrown out to STDOUT in either
readable, formatted way (default) or a compact one (--compact).
The script can also be daemonized (-d) to accept newline-delimited
JSON array messages that contain the pattern as the first element
and the subject as the second one.
**Dependencies**
You can get all the dependencies using [luarocks](http://www.luarocks.org/). They are:
* lrexlib-pcre
* lua_cliargs
* dkjson
* luasocket (only when using the daemonized mode)
* luasignal (only when using the daemonized mode)
## The Ruby part
A minial Sinatra Ruby server that accepts `GET '/'` for displaying
the HTML interface, and `POST '/'` for invoking `rgx.lua` in
the compact mode and passing the result back as JSON.
**Dependencies**
* the Sinatra gem
* dm-core
* dm-migrations
* dm-mysql-adapter
## The HTML interface
It's composed of a simple HTML view and a CSS file. The only JavaScript
dependency is jQuery.
I plan on using WebSockets instead of AJAX for querying later on at which
point the jQuery dependency can be safely removed.
