It's very cool. I don't work with regular expressions often, but I'll definitely look to play around with your explorer in the future. Ryan, I spotted your RegExp Explorer a few days ago.

You do some great work. I just stumbled on this post about creating a regular expression tool and wanted to let you know about a similar application I've recently created that takes the idea a bit further. It's called the Flex 3 Regular Expression Explorer (similar in many ways to the Component and Styles Explorers) and includes not only the ability to work with regular expressions in a live-updating tool and an example library of common expressions, but also the ability to share your own examples with the community and an integrated help/reference panel. http://blog.ryanswanson.com/2008/10/introducing-flex-3-regular-expression.html I hope you'll check it out and would certainly love some feedback. Thanks, Ryan Hey Josh,

That's why I made this app, so it would be easy to play around with regex until I figured it out. Sorry worked, I’m no regex expert.

It's a specialized TextInput box that will grow or shrink to fit its text.

I agree that the input field should be longer for long regexes. Perhaps I will update the component to include resizing. Thanks for adding the link to the Flex 2 regex guidelines, Rostislav.

Also, I think stretched input field would be more useful to fit long RegExes, isn't it? Very good tool. By the way, it will be handy to see some Flex 2 regex guidelines while playing with it.
