A few links
an online RegEx tester:
.NET Regex Tester - Regex Storm[^]
and another one with a nice graph of your RegEx:
Debuggex: Online visual regex tester. JavaScript, Python, and PCRE.[^]

A very helpful site is regexlib[^] they have a large library of Regular Expressions. They also have a RegEx tester[^]. Also Expresso[^] is a very useful RegEx tool.

Try:

[a-zA-Z]+\s\d{1,4}

Get a copy of Expresso[^] - it's free, and it examines and generates Regular expressions.
