#22I've been using RegExr[1]. It's Flash/Flex, the "Community" tab is useful for finding common RegEx's.

#25I use sublime text for this. Considering how many regexes I write a day, I actually need a text editor that has this support. Don't you ? :)

No. Regexes are a hack. I don't write them every day, I write them when I need a hack to get around a problem there isn't a good solution for.

#29I've used lots of regex tools over the years, but I stopped looking once I bought RegexBuddy.
See a demo: http://www.regexbuddy.com/demotest.html
It's a Windows program, but runs on Linux via WINE. It lets you debug regexes, has live highlighting of matched text, generates regex code in 15+ languages (Perl, Python, Ruby, PHP, C, C#, C++, Delphi, Java, Javascript, MySQL, etc) and is all around awesome.
I'm not affiliated with this program, but it is the BEST regex creation/testing program available anywhere.
It will save you oodles of time if you create (or debug) regular expressions more than 2 times in a year. It's the best software product I've ever bought with my own money.
