( Update: This paragraph was intended to be tongue in cheek, but has been widely misinterpreted. It's tempting to ascribe this to the 'cult of no-pay', programmers and users who simply won't pay for software no matter how good it is, or how inexpensive it may be. Which means many programmers I recommend it to will beg off and go install the free WinMerge comparison tool instead. It's not expensive, but it's not free, either. I've recommend Beyond Compare before it's a fantastic file and directory comparison tool. People usually don't state their preferences this boldly. We don't use software that costs money here, and last time I checked regexbuddy wasn't free. Yes, I also have to brush up on the regex from time to time. The source of that resistance was spelled out for me by Henrik Sarvell in this comment he left on Rob Conery's blog: I've always encountered vague resistance when recommending commercial tools that I considered best of breed. Whenever the regular expression topic comes up, I unashamedly recommend the best tool on the market for parsing and building regular expressions - RegexBuddy.
