I created a new regex fiddle.re/puc70 and made a share code.

I'd like to be able to get back to that regex and add more text inputs for testing without the need of creating a new share code.

Right now I could only name the regex, etc clicking that Edit button.

Are you interested in adding an XRegExp backend (separate from the standard JavaScript backend)? It should be easy to do, since you already support JavaScript with Node.js. You'd probably just need to include XRegExp (var XRegExp = require('xregexp').XRegExp;, after installing with npm), add checkboxes for XRegExp's three nonnative flags (s, x, and n), and use XRegExp.replace/exec/test/split rather than the native methods, for testing.

Actually, since XRegExp compiles to native regexes, you don't even need to use XRegExp.exec/test/split. You do need XRegExp.replace, to use XRegExp's replacement text syntax. You'd probably also want to use XRegExp.exec, so that you get named backreferences on the result array.

If you have any questions or run into any issues, I'd be happy to help.
