Regulator 2.0, currently in Beta, allows you to verify the regular expressions that you write work as expected. I know that there have been many times that I wanted to make sure that the regular expression that I was putting together was actually going to match what I thought it would, but I had no way to test this except for just running my app. Now, I could just run it through Regulator and make sure that I’ve written in correctly.

Note that Regulator 2.0 requires the .NET Framework v1.0, which can be downloaded from Microsoft’s site.
