Is there an online RegexBuddy-like regular expression analyzer? [closed]

Answer 1

I like the online tool: http://regexr.com

When you hover over the regular expression you will get an explanation of that part.

Answer 2

I currently use http://rick.measham.id.au/paste/explain.pl from Rick Measham. It is a regex explanation tool that simply works.

Answer 3

There's a bunch of them listed in Steven Levithan's blog.

Answer 4

For what it's worth, I also like:

• regex101.com, which is quite powerful, but technical. It features timing and steps taken results as well as permalinks for sharing a regex with explanation and test data.
• regexper.com, which draws railroad diagrams of regexes. The results are very nice to look at and easy to understand, but there are no textual explanations.

Both are free to use.

Answer 5

regexpal is the one I always use. I prefer it to the Flash-based RegExr.
