Autogenerate Regular Expressions with txt2re

Hate writing regular expressions? Of course you do. That's why txt2re exists.

Billed as "headache relief for programmers," txt2re let's you input a string and and then use a simple wizard that generates a regex program in Perl PHP, Python, Java, Javascript, ColdFusion, C, C++, Ruby, VB, VBScript, J#.net, C#.net, C++.net or VB.net.

"A good data munger excels at turning coffee into regular expressions and parsers, implemented in a high-level scripting language of choice (often Perl, Python, even Javascript)," Michael E. Driscoll wrote in 2009. With txt2re, you get to cheat a little.
