What is the best software for regex that can save lots of time in debugging and checking the code.

I have little bit knowledge of regex and want to test bigger expressions.

please give your reviews. Here are few I have found on net.

Are you referring to regex syntax problems or the integrity of the pattern?

 

No matter what editor you use, you cannot check your regex without a decent and somewhat relative array of data to run it against. A pattern may "work," but there could be some underlying gotchas that it allow it to match undesirables.

 

I typically create an array of tests to run the pattern through: Example.

A bit of a shameless plug, but I've written a PHP script for testing regular expressions, which at least personally I've found quite handy.

 

The tool can be found online at:

In addition, if you'd prefer to run it on your local host (which can provide considerable speed increase), there is also download available at:
