Testing regular expressions (II)

Since I wasn't able to find a suitable (and stable!) regular expression utility for Mac OS X - I decided to write one myself. It took me a few hours of programming (using C++ and Qt) and I'm very satisfied with the result so far :)

The program is called RegExplorer and it is based on the built-in QRegExp functionality provided with Qt. Basically, the user can type in his or hers favorite regular expression and the program will validate it and highlight matching patterns in a text sample. Previous expressions are stored and can be retrieved from the combobox and the number of matches found is shown in the status bar. The application will be available free of charge (for Mac, Windows, and Linux) when I have found a nice application icon :-)
