I am not sure if anyone has ever mentioned this before, but I wanted to share something with you that I have recently found that might be of great assistance with many of your "RegEx" issues.
The name of this program is, "The Regex Coach". I have found it to be an invaluable tool to any regular expression building that I attempt to create. Input the information you are attempting to match in one pane of the window, then build your regular expression in the other pane, and watch how your expression matches up as you build it. Keep in mind that you still have to know the rules of regular expressions to build them. "The Regex Coach" does not build them for you; it just shows you how your regular expressions match up with the data that you supply it. Try it, it may or may not be helpful for you.
