Portfolio / Regex Storm

Regex Storm is an online regular expressions tester. It is catered towards fellow .NET programmers that need to craft regular expressions for use in code, which often requires more detailed information beyond just showing what matches. To this end, details such as execution times, string positions, matches, groups, captures, and split arrays are provided.

In light of all the information being displayed, I wanted to make sure that the interface remained clean and easy to use. Tabbed results, expanding/collapsing panels, and an uncluttered layout are used to accomplish this goal.

Creative use of JavaScript and CSS highlight matches where you type them, without using any plugins (like Flash or Silverlight). Ajax is used to automatically highlight matches as you type.
