Mastering Regular Expressions (Paperback)

Mastering Regular Expressions Book Description

Regular expressions are a powerful tool for manipulating text and data. This book, with its unprecedented detail and breadth of coverage, will help you discover a whole new world of mastery over your computer and its data. Regular expressions are not a tool in and of themselves, but are included as part of a larger utility. The classic example is <i>grep</i>. Regular expressions can be found everywhere, such as in scripting languages (including Perl, Tcl, <i>awk</i>, and Python); editors (including Emacs, <i>vi</i>, and Nisus Writer); programming environments (including Delphi and Visual C++); and specialized tools (including <i>lex</i>, Expect, and <i>sed</i>). In this eye-opening book, author Jeffrey Friedl leads you through the steps of crafting a regular expression that gets the job done. He examines a variety of tools and uses them in an extensive array of examples, with a major focus on Perl.

  Excellent Book

  I'm very much passionate about domain specific language. For this, regex is mandatory. Though I'm comfortable, I want more hands-on on this with a focused material. This is the excellent choice I made. For me, it is like reading a fiction novel. Don't miss this book.
