Loaded with examples, this introductory guide walks beginners step-by-step through the fundamentals of regular expressions, and helps you decipher complex patterns. * Break down regular expressions into comprehensible parts * Learn common usage patterns through simple, easy-to-follow examples * Discover how finding unique patterns can help you avoid repetitive, hand-editing of text * Use common command-line tools such as grep and sed * Compare how regular expressions are implemented in different languages and environments
