Background:
I've made some headway on learning regular expressions over the past year, so even though this one is very outdated, I wanted to give it a try. Unfortunately didn't make it far, probably because I didn't do a standard install.
Steps: Download installer and extract using 7zip, launch Expresso.exe.
Status: Unclear, but definitely not stealth. The program won't start, it's free registerware -- you're supposed to have a trial period but I didn't get that. Not stealth because, even without starting, it created "Expresso Projects" in the USER\Documents folder.

Re: Expresso - regular expressions development tool
I was hoping to test this out before I posted a reply but requires dotNET and Scoop, which is a little more than I was able to dig into this week. In any case, the suggestion of a recipe approach to grep / regex has come up before, but wrapping it all in one tool is a fantastic idea.vevy wrote: ↑Tue Dec 15, 2020 3:04 pm Look into this:

Dang -- I've had my eye on BinaryMark a lot over the last year as a batch editor and I didn't notice they had ANY freeware options, much less for regular expressions. Great catch.
Additionally, this software looks to have some analysis functions I've not seen elsewhere. I'll hopefully evaluate this along with a portability test soon.
Re: Expresso - regular expressions development tool
No need for scoop, just grab the binary from Releases.
Their only one. Even their "Free Products" link is just for ways to get a giveaway of paid products.... I didn't notice they had ANY freeware options...
