Re: Books on Regular Expression

I can recommend:-
"Teach Yourself Regular Expressions in 10 Minutes" by Ben Forta
# ISBN-10: 0672325667
# ISBN-13: 978-0672325663

But above all download Expresso and practice, practice, practice.

Create a new folder, or snippets category ( I use and recommend
Code Warehouse ) and start storing and adding your own notes to
every regex example you find that is interesting to you.

As you probably know Jeffrey Friedl's "Mastering Regular Expressions"
is THE book, but it's not a beginner book by any means.

There is also a *really* good Microsoft Webcast blogged about recently
by Shay and /\/\O\/\/. The part on "replacements" was especially
good,
I thought. Wish my work webcasts were done by instructors like the
guy
who delivered those ones!

Good luck,

Stuart

Re: Books on Regular Expression

Even though Jeffrey's book is not a "beginners" book, I sincerely believe it
is approachable and usable by a beginner. If you work through the book
carefully, especially the early chapters, you'll come out the other side
with a far better understanding of regex.
