Just a note about re-builder and regex-tool:

To build a regex to use in a program or with query-replace-regexp, you
can use one of these tools, however, re-builder will build a regex to
use in a program and this regex will not work in query-replace-regexp.
Regex-tool will build a regex more usable with query-replace-regexp.

[0-9]\\{2\\} ==> work in a program but not in query-replace
[0-9]\{2\} ==> work in query-replace but not in a program
