Absolutely indispensable if you are doing RegEx. Best thing though is the support by the developer. No matter how good my RegEx was or wether people said it can't be done with "just RegEx" - he does it.

This application is excellent. Whether you use Regular Expression, or want to learn it, then you probably won't disappointed by what this has to offer. I've found it to be the most complete tool all around for Regex on OSX, and I think it's well worth the small price the developer is asking.

A great way to learn to use regular expressions - the program helps you to build your expression and then offers some great tools to debug it.
