Jump to PostIcon is quite nice but as development environment it is clumsy. So I end up using Python, which has some influence from Icon. Dreaming to implement sometimes more Iconisms for Python...

Edward can only assume you are prohibiting Perl because it is the most obvious and correct answer to your question. ;) Modern "scripting" languages with native regular expression support are going to be your best bet. Perhaps Python or Ruby?
