        John, since your e-mail was composed with KMail, I'll assume you use 
KDE=20

at least some of the time.  :)  Have you looked at kregexpeditor?  Here=20

on Gentoo, you can find it in the "K" menu:  Utilities -> More=20

Programs...  It's in the "kdeutils" package, so I figure most anyone with=20

KDE installed should have it.



        You can compose a regex in that, then paste it into another program.  
I=20

also like it because I can type in the text field, and the utility will=20

show me, graphically with plain English labels, what my expression will=20

catch.  For instance, I type "(x){0,6}" and the program shows "Repeated=20

at most 6 times" with "x" encased in that block.  Handy, especially if=20

you're messing with unfamiliar syntax.
