Regexxer for Chromebook

Regexxer on Chromebook: Regexxer is a nifty GUI search and replace tool featuring Perl-style regular expressions. If you need project-wide substitution and you are tired of hacking together commands at the terminal or having to open a giant, bloated IDE just to perform search and replace across a number of files, then Regexxer is the tool for you. It is a great application geared towards programmers, but it could be useful for any hard-core geek, especially since it is a nice little standalone package.
