REGtEXt is a Regular Expressions validation testbed, useful for .NET developers who wish to test out Regular Expression patterns before integrating them into their software. Regular Expressions can be complicated to write, even for seasoned developers, and REGtEXt provides developers with the opportunity to test them against text values without having to enter debug mode in the Visual Studio development environment.
REGtEXt is now in the final BETA testing phase, and will soon be available for public download. Please check back soon for more information!
Quick Tip #1
Select "Remove CRLF From Test Value" from the "Options" menu to allow you to better view the test value while still simulating real-world input. This feature is especially useful when writing Regular Expressions patterns that will process large blocks of text such as HTML.
Quick Tip #2
Select "Wrap" from the "Expressions" menu (or the right-click context menu of the Expressions list) to wrap the selected pattern around the currently-selected text in the Regular Expressions input box when the selected pattern has one parameter.
