Ash's thread got me thinking - how hard would it be to make a regex creator? You'd enter all the things you want it to match, one per line, and the script automatically generates the regex for you. In Ash's example your input would look like this:
A-z 0-9 , ( ) ' : . Putting something like that together should be trivial (shouldn't it?) but I've never heard of one in all of the discussions of regexes that have come up. Is there a reason nothing like this exists, other than that no-one has bothered? Have I fundamentally misunderstood regexes in some way?
