Features

• Syntax colorizing - it's much easy to write and exeminate regular expression if they syntax are highlited.

• Input string match highliting - try to debug regex in new way - when you choose match in the result match collection it's not only showing the result of the matching - it's colorize match in the input string and scroll to the this place - it's much more easy to write regular expressions when you see surroundings of the current match. Write your regex step by step.

Also you are able to stop current process in any time. Notice: The helper class wich run regex in a separate thread and support asynchronus model will be available very soon with full source code.
