    The O'Reilley book ( I think it's called MAstering Regular Expressions ) is the only one you will ever need.

      Hire someone who is a regex guru and then pester them whenever you need a regex. I do that to Brian.

              I recommend RegexBuddy[^]. It's a great tool that's been of huge help to me. It's got everything you need to quickly create regular expressions. They have a trial period. You can test it.

                Forget a book - go for this instead: http://www.regexbuddy.com/[^] At $30 - it's pretty cheap and definitely worth it for the amount of head bruises it will save (from banging your head against the wall, of course). Features include: -Get a plain English explanation of what your regex is going to do! -Write regexes (or is that regexi) with a GUI instead of the masochistic way -Test your regexes in 3 different ways: match, replace, split -Get instant code to use your regex in various ways in 12 different languages -Regex debugger -A useful library of regexes for common tasks BTW - I'm not getting paid for this :-D

                  This site also has a handy free tool for testing regular expression patterns! I learned everyting I know about regular expressions from this site (that may not say much though!).

                        I second (or third) that. Mastering Regular Expressions is well worth the price of admission. Using the right regex in the right situation could easily pay you back for the book. Timothy Lee Russell www.anatone.net
