Regular Expression GUI?

Question

I've just started looking at regular expressions, and they are pretty cool. They are also pretty annoying looking, and I really don't want to 'learn' them if I can avoid it.

Which is why a nice gui would be great. I'm looking for something intuitive, where you can drag and drop 'condition boxes', select which conditions you want them to select for, get a list of things that your conditions go against, etc. Something which makes building regular expressions easy... heh

If anyone knows of anything, let me know!

Edit: Thanks for all the responses. After looking at some, I googled questions based on them and found this link: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/89718/is-there-anything-like-regexbuddy-in-the-open-source-world

Quickrex seems to have alot of the stuff I want (although not as good as some), plus its integrated into eclipse, which is the IDE I use at the moment.

Answer 1

Regexpal isn't a GUI, but it is handy for testing to see if you've built a regex that matches the correct stuff.

And at the bottom of regexpal.com is a link to regexbuddy, which seems to be closer to what you are looking for:

Answer 2

I use RegExRX, it is in the App Store (for MAC). It is very useful and the pulldown menus help you construct expressions. Their website is here: http://www.mactechnologies.com/index.php?page=downloads#regexrx

Nevertheless studying a bit about them will get you far. If you are on a Mac try for example "Searching with Grep" help section in TextWrangler.
