I tried showing my students how to use Regex and explained how I use it quite often to edit large amounts of repetitive texts, and the look of confusion that over time, switched to fascination in a few kids was just so satisfying.

I love sharing resources such as these with them.

Thank you for sharing.

Your students are lucky! ;) If you ever have any ideas how KeyCombiner could make your life as a teacher easier, you are very welcome to drop me a line.

https://regexr.com/ exists, and you don't have to make an account to use it.

Indeed it does. It's hardly comparable to KeyCombiner, though.

RegExr is more capable when it comes to helping you understand how regular expressions work. KeyCombiner will help you remember the syntax.
