Regular Expression Construction Jump to Story

Creating regular expressions by hand can often become unwieldy and a bit cryptic. The good news, though, is that Jim Weirich recently released a regular expression-building library for Ruby called "re."

This defines the regular expression in smaller, more manageable blocks, which should make their creation much simpler and more maintainable.
