· Why is my regular expression box red?
The Regular expression box turns red when the regular expression cannot be parsed due to
an error in the expression. This will happen quite often while typing expression constructs.
Continue editing your expression. When it is valid, the background will not be red.
· How do I know what is matched?
Any text in the Target Text box that is matched by your expression will be highlighted. If no text matches your expression, nothing will be highlighted. This is how you know that your expression isn't working. Any matching text will also be shown in the Matches table.

· I can't remember the syntax for a particular construct?
Neither can I. That's why there is an extensive context menu in the regular expression edit box. Position you cursor where you want the construct, then right-click and find the desired construct in the menu. Select it and it will be pasted into you expression.
