Just for fun (after fighting with an external toolkit for several days to weed out their bugs) I wrote a small app which allows you to test regular expressions in IMatch PERL syntax.
@Developers: It utilizes a new endpoint I've added to IMWS for IMatch 2018.
IMatch allows the use of regular expressions for many features, from searching to version detection.
With the new App you can now interactively try out your regular expressions when in doubt, getting immediate feedback and useful error messages when you get the expression wrong:

Thank you, I am going to like this one very much!
As it is now I use an online tool (https://regex101.com/), but having this as an app seems more convenient.
Same here.. will be nice to have something built in to test against IM data. I am currently using the amazing RegExBuddy which not only lets you test REGex.. but offers suggestions on how to get the expression you want.
Don't expect too much. This little app just applies your regexp to the text and tells you if there is a match, no match or a problem with your regexp.
It's no competition for designated regexp sites.
Good idea!
