I've never had any problems writing and debugging regular expressions after I came across this: https://regex101.com https://regex101.com
And since regexes are usually write-once, adding this complexity on top of them serves no additional benefit. If anything, it'd probably make it harder for the next guy to understand your code.
- ziml77 6y agoI bought RegexBuddy years ago and have loved it for debugging. However it only runs on Windows. Found regex101 recently and I think it's a great alternative (though I almost didn't check it out because the domain has SEO abuse site vibes).
