Perhaps it might be[0]?

I'm not quite sure how I feel about that however... :-D

reminds me a bit of klogg https://github.com/variar/klogg which is more for log files and based off glogg which went dead. it has nice filtering and highlighting type stuff. It's great for live views of log files.

This looks like the app I wanted ages ago when I tried to find a TextAnalysisTool.net replacement for OSX.

Marginally related, but this is one of the things I'm bullish on ChatGPT for. Too frequently, I've gotten hundreds of lines of malformed textual data that I need to standardize. This is like impossible with REGEX but I can drop it into GPT and it does this wonderfully.

I have no idea how Regex became the standard. The syntax is impossible to remember unless you write regex expressions daily. Most people only rarely need regex so it needs to be relearned every time. It is also incredibly unsatisfying to write (and read).

I used it a lot for a few years decades ago, and only use it rarely now. I remember the syntax well and I am not know for having a great memory. I think its terseness suits the extreme focus of its use perfectly.

Everyone has autonomy over their own system. Who are we to judge if they want to do something like that.

As much as I hate to hop on the AI bandwagon, this is definitely where tools like Chat GPT shine.

Not to mention, non tech people will now be able to use what once could’ve only been done with cryptic regex.
