String to list converter

Once I had a list with broken formatting. It was just a big string, with entries separated by spaces.

So, here is what this online calculator does

1. It splits entered string by provided regular expression using a match or first group if you want to leave out some unnecessary symbols
2. It replaces symbols inside every match; if you provide replacement regular expression
3. It outputs each replaced match on a separate line, so it is possible to copy the resulting list.

I hope the example below clearly shows it all. I publish it here; maybe it will be useful for somebody else.
