Top Tip: Running Perl Regex Coach on OS/X

Posted by Alec The Geek on 16 November 2011

If you’ve used the excellent Regex Coach for Perl programmers on Windows but have been dissapointed that the current version does not run on Mac OS/X, fear not. You can build Wine and then it runs well.

  1. Install HomeBrew
  2. Run the command brew install --use-gcc wine
  3. Download the Regex Coach installer
  4. Run the command wine regex-coach.exe to install
  5. To run Regex Coach run the command wine .wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/The\ Regex\ Coach/The\ Regex\ Coach.exe
