Correction: corrected my pattern so that it works :-) after  I discovered that I hadn't escaped the symbols when I tested it on my new RegexSnippets testing tool (see below) :-)

I noticed that several people on the regex lists post working snippets with their regex's to demonstrate how the pattern is used in code - and to prove that it works ;-), so, I decided to add another form to RegexSnippets that will allow you to enter code and compile+execute it on the fly.  By using this feature a user can test the pattern in the tool, then bring up the new form, write a harness module and compile it in the tool before adding it to their post.  Here's a picture of my progress to date:

I saw a couple of posts this morning that caught my interest - because they mentioned regex :-) - that mentioned something about checking for anagrams.  I might be taking this completely out of context, but, it got my fingers clicking and trying to work out an algorithm to check for an anagram.  Here's a quick, first-cut that looks like it might do the trick...

Before today I think that I'd heard mention of Lutz Roeder but had never seen or used any of his products.

 Last night I released a new version of RegexSnippets, source code (and app) available at:

Ingo's fine Remoting newsletter rolled in yesterday :-) A great read was his article about internals of the Lease based lifetime system implemented by .NET Remoting and how that and Garbage Collection play together. It reminded me reading the Jeff Richter book about the Framework when it first came out, and how much I enjoyed learning about how the GC process works.
