For *VASTLY* more information, plus examples galore, plus explanations,
etc, don't even think of using regexps without first acquiring the book
(well, "bible"):
Mastering Regular Expressions, 2nd Edition
By [54]Jeffrey E. F. Friedl
2nd Edition July 2002
0-596-00289-0, Order Number: 2890
484 pages, $39.95 US $61.95 CA #28.50 UK
Much cheaper (eg 40% off) at www.bookpool.com.
This book is the regexp-bible for the planet -- covers
emacs, perl, php, egrep, java, you name it.
Scan through the book, and you won't understand how you
thought you knew what you were doing before you got the book.
To convince her and others to get it, how about
some comments from those who've got the book?
THANKS!
David
