Take the guesswork out of using regular expressions. With more than 140 practical recipes, this cookbook provides everything you need to solve a wide range of real-world problems. Novices will learn... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I have several Regular Expressions books; most of them are from O'Reilly.
However, others are more focused on various UNIX/c environments.
Yet one cannot concentrate on the operating system and ignore what they operate on. This book covers a wider environment that is encountered mostly on websites and occasionally in specific industries (C#, Java, JavaScript, PHP, Perl, Python, Ruby, and VB.NET). You learn that regular expression even though indispensable is not necessarily uniform in syntax.
You can tell that this was not written in a laboratory or an ivory tower, and the recipes are not just practical but the ones you will be challenged with in the real world.
Do not tell anyone but I have fun reading this book in advance of a chance to see the possibilities for the questions that arise.
While you are being mesmerized by regular expressions, you are also being exposed to different environments; some you will be familiar with, and others will make you say where have I been?
To name a few, various editors, the different languages themselves, if you have not had a chance to experiment, each chapter title is a different concept or valid reason to use regular expressions.
