Visual REGEXP

Automatic construction of regexp from a word list

The new tool allows you to easily construct optimized regexp from a word list.

For example, with the list:

		optimal
		optimize
		optimise
		optimization
		optimisation
	
you will get the following regexp:
		optim(i[sz](e|ation)|al)
	
As you can see, Visual REGEXP will try to find not only the common prefixes but the common suffixes too.
