]]> When working on .NET applications, I frequently need to test regular expressions I’m using in my code. There are many good utilities out there to test regular expressions, but most are web-based and rely on Javascript for regular expression processing, which lacks support for .NET’s named captures.

In response, I built the a regex test utility in WPF that has the following features:

  • .NET syntax for regular expressions
  • Supports named capture groups
  • Gives real-time feedback (as you type) for the regular expression and the test input

The binary requires .NET 3.5 and is available here. The source can be found on GitHub here.

Also, for those of you working with .NET regular expressions, I’ve always found this site a great resource.
