I just got "Regular Expressions Recipes" by Nathan A. Good.
I'm hoping to use it to learn RE. The book focuses on using
Perl, vim, python and PHP. I would find it helpful if I could
be pointed to documentation that outlines the unique RE features
of emacs (or Xemacs).
That way I could do the exercises in emacs also. I think that
would be very helpful in learning RE for emacs.
Is such documentation available? Any suggestions?
The _best_ book on regexes, with extensive comparisons between Perl, Emacs,
and other regex flavors: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/regex/. - Drew
