Is there an Application to Create Regular Expression Out of Text by Selecting Wanted Area?

Question

I hope this is programmer-related question. I'm in the hobby business of C# programming. For my own purposes I need to parse html files and the best idea is..regular expression. As many found out, it's quite time consuming to learn them and thus I'm quite interested if you know about some application that would be able to take input (piece of any code), understand what i need (by Me selecting a piece of the code I need to "cut out"), and give me the proper regular expression for it or more options.

As I've heard, Regex is a little science of itself, so it might not be as easy as I'd imagine.

Yes there is Roy Osherove wrote exactly what you're looking for - regulazy

Answer 2

Not real answer to your question, as it has nothing to do with regex, but HtmlAgilityPack may help you with your parsing.
