Hey Martin,

I recommend BBEdit for learning RegEx and other things because:

  • Although BBEdit is a commercial product, the trial version reverts to a
    still very powerful and free (BBEdit-Lite) version after 30 days.
  • It is very Mac-like.
  • It has excellent support for RegEx.
  • It is very AppleScriptable.
  • It has a two versatile command line tools.
  • It has been in continuous development for 25 years.

I also recommend https://regex101.com

There are other useful tools, but these are two of the best.
