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
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

Just getting into regexes and they were doing my head in. Reggy is brilliant in that it dynamically shows you how your regex will work (or not work :-) with your sample string.
If you're struggling with regular expressions not quite working the way you expect, this is an excellent way to de-mystify the magic.
Thanks Sam!

I found this Program, and i like it.
Everytime when i think of ... "hmm, maybe a RegEx could do the job?! Where's my Reggy?"

Could be nice, like previous speaker mentioned, with some sort of color distinctions for different matches... maybe.

regexp:
([^sW]?|[^sW][._-]?)*@{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
