<pkg>regexr</pkg> is an R framework for constructing and managing human readable
regular expressions. It aims to provide tools that enable the user to write
regular expressions in a way that is similar to the ways R code is written.
The tools allow the user to:
<ol><li>Write in smaller, modular, named,sub-expressions</li><li>Write top to bottom, rather than a single string</li><li>Comment individualsub-expressions</li><li>Indent expressions to represent regular expression groups</li><li>Add vertical line spaces and R comments (i.e.,<code>#</code>)</li><li>Test the validity of theconcatenated expressionand the modular sub-expressions</li></ol>
This framework harnesses the power and flexibility of regular expressions
but provides a structural frame that is more consistent with both code
writing and natural language conventions.

An R framework for constructing and managing human readable regular
    expressions.  It aims to provide tools that enable the user to write
    regular expressions in a way that is similar to the ways R code is written.
    The tools allow the user to (1) write in smaller, modular, named,
    sub-expressions, (2) write top to bottom, rather than a single string (3)
    comment individual chunks, (4) indent expressions to clearly present regular
    expression groups, (5) add vertical line spaces and R comments (i.e., #),
    and (6) test the validity of the concatenated expression and the modular
    sub-expressions.
