I have been on a quest for a good visual regular expression tester. Some of you may have looked for something also. Here is the best one I have found so far:

But be aware that this is a "tool for helping you construct and test .NET Regular Expressions". .NET regular expressions appear to be different from and far more powerful than TextPad's.

But at least it helps a little on the testing of regular expressions. I typically, at the moment code a lot in PERL so that is just what I am used to at the moment.

I've used this one before. It's worth a look as well:

I'm not sure which came first (the chicken or the egg?) but this looks similar to a tool I use called Visual Expresso- been a lifesaver for all my .NET regexing.

It'll even generate c# code for you, crazily enough...
