Is it possible to "learn" a regular expression by user-provided examples?
To clarify:
- I do not want to learn regular expressions.
- I want to create a program which "learns" a regular expression from examples which are interactively provided by a user, perhaps by selecting parts from a text or selecting begin or end markers.
Is it possible? Are there algorithms, keywords, etc. which I can Google for?
EDIT: Thank you for the answers, but I'm not interested in tools which provide this feature. I'm looking for theoretical information, like papers, tutorials, source code, names of algorithms, so I can create something for myself.
