Reggy overview
Reggy is a small OS X cocoa/objective-c application to very quickly visualize what a given regular expression will match given a test string. It will also tell you if you have errors in your regular expression.
What’s new in version 1.3
Version 1.3:
- Added preference to apply sub-match/capture group coloring: each match or capture group gets a slightly different shade of color --- especially nice for nesting matches
- Added preference to automatically use the clipboard contents on startup for the regular expression and/or the testing string
- Added menu items to paste the clipboard directly into either the regular expression (Command+Shift+V) or the testing string (Command+Option+V)
- Added a new and improved Reggy icon (Leopard Compatible/Resolution Independent)
- Added help link for regular expression syntax preference (goes to wikipedia)
- Updated regular expression engine
- Simplified preferences window

great app, btw app is crashing when I try this match:
regexp:
([^\s\W]?|[^\s\W][\._-]?)*@{1}([a-z0-9_-]+)?[a-z0-9_-]?(\.?[a-z0-9_-]?{2,})+
string to match:
myname-my.org.co#@mail.co.uk
it doesn't crash when string is:
myname-my.org.co@mail.co.uk
as soon as I add a special character like '#' or any one app crash

When I have to write a regular expression, this is what I use.

Even better than before. Nice to see the developer responds to feedback and added colors for the matching groups (although a more visible difference would be nice *hint, hint*).

Really nice interface that makes it a breeze to test your regex before using them. I wish this app existed when I first learned regex! It would be perfect if you could somehow save them though, like a little itunes style column on the left with your "regex library" but it does its job perfectly as it is... Just nitpicking here...
