The Regex Coach

Ok, I just downloaded and installed The Regex Coach (sorry, I left out the "The" yesterday), and it's as incredible as it sounds. Really, if you've ever used regular expressions, get this. I can't understate how fantastic this program is. You're guaranteed to understand regular expressions better after you play around with this for a while. You can step through a regex to see what happens at each step, you can get a tree view of the regular expression, and everything else it says it does But I just wanted to reiterate... great program.

Oh, and on another note, this was the one thing Komodo really had going for it that was unique (IMO), and now it doesn't have that anymore. On the other hand, now that I've spent a minute looking around the Komodo site, it really does look like a kick ass IDE. I hated it in the past because it was dog slow since it was built on Mozilla. Hopefully they've fixed that a bit. It also didn't work right for me in the past, but since I've reformatted and installed a different OS, maybe that'll be better.
