'''^txt2regex$''' is a regular expression wizard that leads the user through the construction of a regular expression by asking a series of questions. The regular expression is generated in the notation used by: [[AWK programming language|AWK, GAWK, MAWK]], [[Ed (Unix)|ed]], [[grep|egrep]], [[Emacs]], [[expect]], [[find]], [[gawk]], [[grep]], [[Lex programming tool|lex]], [[lispLisp programming language|Lisp]], [[mawk]], [[MySQL]], [[OpenOffice.org]], [[Perl]], [[PHP]], [[PostgresPostgreSQL]], [[Procmail]], [[Python programming language|Python]], [[SEDSed]], [[Tcl]], [[VBscript]], [[Vi]], and [[Vim (text editor)|Vim]].

It is a useful tool for users with little or no knowledge of regular expressions and so is included in several Linux distributions, including [[Debian]], [[Gentoo Linux|Gentoo]], [[Knoppix]], and [[Mandriva]],

in [[FreeBSD]], and in Fink for Mac OS X.
