regexp-expand

Show the ELisp regular expression at point in rx form.

Installation

This package requires xr, which is available in ELPA/MELPA: M-x package-install RET xr RET

Then, clone this repository to your local machine and add the following to your initialization file:

(add-to-list 'load-path "<Path to regexp-expand directory>")
(require 'regexp-expand)

The main entry point of this package is regexp-expand, a command that, when the point is inside a regular expression, will replace it temporarily with an equivalent but much more readable rx form.
