Debugger for C# Engine

Open bburgess19 opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

Feature

I would love it if the C# engine had a debugger! I constantly have to change back to PCRE to find out why my regices fail, and while it's a functional workaround, it's certainly not ideal (not to mention there are idiosyncrasies between the two engines).

Does the .net engine allow for this type of information? I would need to know where the engine is positioned both in the regex and the input string.

I'm not sure if it offers this information... does the .NET regex engine have to be open sourced in order for you to implement a solution?

@bburgess19 I don't think that parts relevant, only if it can produce the information I need or not ... :)

Do you want to investigate?

Where can I find this in PCRE? I want debugger in .net regex too because it is pretty complicated.
