I typically use Regex101. It's been good enough for my needs and I'm just used to it at this point. Looking at RegExr, it seems like the only big difference is that Regex101 supports substitution, though I think I've only used it once.

- walls 5y agoIt also lets you switch between regex implementations in different languages.
- ask_b123 5y agoWhat do you mean by substitution? Replacing a match with a string/pattern? If so, RegExr does have that tool (at the middle/bottom, tools bar), and it probably is the functionality I most often use.
- Glant 5y agoAh, I see it now. Usually when I do replace/substitution it's in a larger project so it's not a feature I typically use on the site. Most of my Regex101 use is just figuring out why a regex I wrote isn't executing like I expected.
- ask_b123 5y agoI normally use the replace/substitution in situations such as: I have list of, say, 1000+ things/rows in a single column. I want to put them in a single line and separate by comma. It is is pretty easy to go there and substitute \n for ", ". That said, that's also doable in a text editor, but I like that I can visualize the pattern and results more easily.
