The time spent on reading about regular expressions will reward you
many times over. A tool is no substitute for that.

However, a visual tool does help in constructing complex expressions.
Python includes one such. Search for redemo.py

On Windows
C:\Python24\Tools\scripts\redemo.py

There are also several good open source tools on Sourceforge. Try them
out.
