You are probably aware of this, but I thought I would point you out to a great regular expression tool that I use in all my development efforts (I am a web application developer by trade). It's called "The Regex Coach" and can be downloaded at http://weitz.de/regex-coach/ It allows you to enter your regular expression in the "Regular expression" pane, and then test it across different strings that you enter into the "Target string" pane. (note: Javascript regular expressions don't play nice with usual regexp conventions. So if you have a bit of regexp operating great in The Regex Coach it will 99% likely work in your PHP/Perl/C++/etc code, but test thoroughly within your Javascript code).
