As long as we are talking about regex tools...  I found this tool a while
back and today I don't know how I ever figured out regular expressions
without it. (http://www.regexbuddy.com/)  Unfortunately it is not free, but
for the time that it saves, it is WELL worth $40 a copy.  In fact, I
personally bought it and was going to charge back to my company, but decided
I would keep the licenses myself.
