Regex File Content Scanner with Capturing Groups

Question

I am looking for a UI tool that scans files (filtered by file name patterns, maybe also regular expressions) in a given directory (tree) for occurrences of a given regular expression and displays results of capturing groups for each match in a table.

Basically, I'm looking for a mixture of grepWin and the regex result tables from online Regex testers like RegExr.

Answer 1

Notepad++ is capable of that:

• scans files filtered by file name patterns: 'Yes, see the "Filters" box in above screenshot.
• for occurrences of a given regular expression: Yes, see lower left radio box
• displays results of capturing groups for each match in a table: No grouping unfortunately, but results are listed and you can double-click on each to open the corresponding file and directly jump to the hit.
• gratis: yes.
• Windows: yes.

Answer 2

Have you tried Agent Ransack?

• It allows you to scan file name and contents.
• It allows regex.
• It displays the results in a table.
