Today at work, I required a regular expressions tester. I had heard about Regulator and I actually have it on my ever-expanding “to-do” list at home. Anyway, I downloaded it again and actually used it today. What a great tool! The interface at startup is a little confusing, but it’s really great for testing regular expressions on the fly. And then it can give you code once you’ve perfected it. No wonder it’s in the top 10 tools every .NET developer should have.
Reviewing the list, I have 7 downloaded, 6 installed(now), and until today, only used 3 with any frequency: NUnit, CodeSmith and Reflector.
Got any great programming tools that you can’t do without?
