[TxMt] a regexp test script (link)

I've written an alternative version of the regular expression 
checker. It relies heavily on a script I found on the web by 
Aristotle at perlmonks.org (cited in the code).

I've checked it into the svn repository. There's also a version of 
the Ruby script that produces a tooltip (though I can't get that to 
work on my computer yet). They live at 
http://macromates.com/svn/Bundles/trunk/RegularExpressions.tmbundle/

The way this alternative works is you copy the regexp to the 
clipboard, then highlight the text you want to check. Then it 
produces HTML output which color codes each subcapture.

There might be a nicer way to grab the regexp, like maybe using 
Cocoadialog, but I just wanted to get this out there.


best wishes, Eric
