One of the tools which may come in handy for you when you build your regular expressions is the too EditPad Pro. This tool has excellent support for RegEx and you can play around with your RegEx expressions interactively.

The tools is not that expensive and an excellent addition to you software toolbox. EditPad Pro can do the same stuff as UltraEdit, although you may favour UltraEdit in some cases.
I'll not list all the features of EditPad Pro, except for the already mentioned excellent support for RegEx and the fact that the flavour of RegEx in the editor matches the flavour of RegEx for the GNU version of GREP.
So give it a try, and buy it if you find it useful - especially if you're a newbie at RegEx (like me).

Very imformative blog you've put together Paul. Ugh, the dreaded "GREP" This page is geared towards unix heads. :-)
Nah, I use Windows and it works just as fine here.
Actually grep is just a tool which the GNU community put together to support regular expressions, mainly the Perl flavor.
But I am learning regex at the moment so, tag along if you like.
