ERIC6_QREGEXP(1)

📦 version 21.1, in ubuntu jammy

💖 ERIC6_QREGEXP 💖

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for eric6_qregexp, and it lives in section 1 of the manual (General Commands Manual, if you're keeping score). It's a Debian-flavoured page because — plot twist — the original program never shipped a manpage at all. So the Debian girlies wrote one. Slay.

✨ NAME ✨

eric6_qregexp — a GUI editor for Qt style regular expressions 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

eric6_qregexp [options]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So like, this manual page documents the eric6_qregexp command briefly. Not extensively, not in depth — briefly. And it was written for the Debian distribution specifically, because the original program simply does not have a manual page. Which is giving "we had to do it ourselves" energy, and honestly? Respect.

eric6_qregexp is a graphical editor and debugger for Qt style regular expressions. Like, both things. It's part of the eric6 IDE, but it can also be used as a standalone application, so if you just want the regex toy without the whole IDE situation, you can absolutely do that. Main character energy, fr fr.

👑 OPTIONS 👑

These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (-). A summary of options is included below — and for a complete description, bestie, you gotta see the Info files.

  • -h, --help — shows a summary of options. Your little map of everything this thing can do. 🗺️
  • -v, --version — shows the version of the program. iykyk, sometimes you just need to know which era of software you're in. ⭐
