For a while I had to use a Windows box for my development. Fortunately, I was able to make a good case for my company to switch me to a MacBook Pro.

One of the tools that took me a while to track down was a regex testing app. On Windows, I was a big fan of Regex Coach, which is a great app.

I was happy to find QuRegExmm. It’s not nearly as feature rich as Regex coach, but it seems to be good enough for me, since I really only want to test regular expressions, not really do anything else with it.

    It would be nice to be able to see the result of a replace. There are a lot of websites that will test it. This guy posted a widget for it: http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/developer/regexwidget.html . It didn’t seem too comprehensive either though.

    Wooo! just what I needed for my MacBook Pro. Once you go MAC you never go back! :) .

    Perfect for testing Google Analytics RegEx thanks!
