REs are easier to write than to understand. It would be great to have a tool that visualizes existing REs, I think.

- mojuba 19y agoBeautiful work. Can be useful for RE compiler makers perhaps...
- asnyder 19y agoRegEx Buddy (http://www.regexbuddy.com http://www.regexbuddy.com) is also pretty good. It breaks down the regex into its parts in an intuitive interface. Furthermore, it allows you to easily switch between the various regex styles, along with its platform specific variation. It's also great for deciphering expressions long forgotten, definitely a lifesaver.
- paulgb 19y agoRegEx buddy is great, it's well worth the money if you are doing lots of regular expressions. I had to give it up when I switched to Ubuntu (though apparently it works ok under wine).
