Displaying Match, Replace and Split Results

RegexDesigner.NET uses a variety of UI features to help you interpret you results and construct/correct your regular expressions.

Color-Coded Match Results

Match, Replace and Split operation results are color-coded to help you distinguish matched results from unmatched. You can also move the mouse over match results to see tooltips that provide more granular details on a specific match.
