Censorship (no, its not another free speech rant)

This week I 'ave been mostly learning about regular expressions.

I've written an app that loads a file, strips out sensitive data like email addresses and phone numbers and deposites a new file containing the remaining 'censored' data.

Could this be practically useful to anyone? Press releases for big companies or anything? I've got the source if you want it:)

note: it does NOT keep or store the stripped out data, that would be naughty.

I have been looking at Regular Expressions. Are you planning to post it?

Probably. Watch this space.

I will :)

OK, here it is. The reason it looks a bit crap is because it is a bit crap. I've been re-fiddling a few bits here and there and the result is a very much stripped down version of the finished prog.

There is a test file in the code directory that you can load from the program (click the "Choose File" menu item).

Then check the options you want to censor from the file using the checkboxes.

Then hit the "Run" menu item. The censored code will appear in the botton textbox, ready for saving to file (via menu).

NOTE I havent defined regex expressions for Money or Phone numbers yet, but the rest seem to be OK. The constants at the top of the code are the expressions to fiddle with.

Give it a go, let me know what you think :)
