QtVerbalExpressions

QtVerbalExpressions is a Qt library that simplifies regular expression creation through a fluent, chainable API. It allows developers to construct complex regex patterns using intuitive, verbal methods instead of cryptic syntax, making regex more accessible and maintainable in Qt applications.

Key Features

• Fluent API — Chain methods like .then(), .maybe(), and .anythingBut() to build expressions naturally.
• Human-Readable Patterns — Express regex logic in code that reads like plain English, improving clarity.
• Common Regex Helpers — Includes methods for matching URLs, line breaks, tabs, word boundaries, and character ranges.
• Modifier Support — Apply case-insensitive matching, global search, or single-line mode with dedicated modifiers.
• Test and Replace Functions — Validate strings against built expressions and perform replacements directly.

Philosophy

QtVerbalExpressions prioritizes developer experience by turning regex from a write-only puzzle into a readable, composable tool, reducing errors and speeding up development.
