#32I'll go ahead and recommend RegexBuddy ( http://www.regexbuddy.com/ ) as another useful tool for testing regexes. (No affiliation, this just happens to be one of the most useful programs I've bought with my own money.)
One of the few Windows apps I miss. Fantastic software.
It works on Linux perfectly via WINE. And OSX via WINE.

#33I 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.
Why do you say regex's are hacks? Aren't they nice to use in order to search and replace text? It's really powerful!

Regexs are not hacks. They are part of a programmers toolchest. Just because you write them when you cannot think of a better solution doesn't make them a hack.
They are a legitimate solution for efficient text matching problems.

#35Very nice, please add Java and Python support, but otherwise really dig it.. the tests are especially neat.

Regexbuddy was critical for success on three Regex heavy projects I worked on a few years ago. I still have it running on an old Windows PC.

#37Nice work! It sure do got a purty mouth.

#38I too have a website that does regex testing. It supports Java, JavaScript, .Net, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby & XRegExp, though some are more complete than others.
And it supports sharing & a cookbook too.

#39Would be great if there were support for more Regex types. All those supported by grep (ie. BRE, PRE, PCRE) seem fairly essential – and being a Python guy, Python would be nice too (which are PCRE-ish). Nice work, though.
One more for Python
