regular expressions

regular expressions

[Joseph C. Lininger]

Hi all,
I would like to start by thanking you all for the good advice on reading
word documents. Now, I have another question. Could anyone point me to
some good documentation on using regular expressions? I'm trying to do
some pattern matching. I've tried reading the man page on egrep, and this
is still giving me fits. I've come to the conclusion that I'm not doing
something right. Do any of you know where I may find some help on this?

There's a great O'Reilly book called Mastering Regular Expressions. I'm not
sure if this is avilable in ebook format tho. Hope you find it, it's really
complete and might be abit more than you really want to know about pattern
matching but it's still interesting. :)

Fry: Wow. I love you guys. Back in the 20th century, I had all five of
 your albums.
Ad-Rock: That was a thousand years ago. Now we got seven. 
Fry: Cool. Can I borrow the new ones. And a couple of blank tapes?

One place that might help you rap your head around them, is the
procmailrc, and procmailex man pages.  Then go back and read the egrep man
page for the differences.  Stay away from sed for the time being.

Hi.  I quite like perl regular expressions more than the posix ones.  i have text files which give a good intro to them if you want.
