Description

The Regular Expressions Tester (RExT) is a Mozilla Firefox extension developed for programmers for testing regular expressions.
Regular expressions are used for complex string validation and manipulation. For example they can be used for checking an email address for correct syntax, which the user entered into a form. RExT is used for validating these expressions and is therefore useful for developers of software and web applications.
