Well, the RegEx list archives might be a decent place to start.

If you could tell us more about what kind of data (names?  SSNs?  Phone 
numebers? email addresses?) and how tightly you want to validate it (for 
email:  legally formed?  domain exists?  domain has an MX record? 
mailserver exists?  email exists?  address can receive mail?) then it 
might help us suggest good resources.
