This book provides by far the clearest exposition of regular expressions that I have ever seen.

All you need to use Oracle regular expressions

My only gripe is about the Ruby reference on the cover. In the top right corner it says: "For Perl, PHP, Java, .NET, Ruby ...

Daniel Appleman, 2002
Best $15 I ever spent
+ Good work, needs more examples
I've read through it once, and I'll definitely have to read through it again. And probably at least once more after that. It's the perfect size for a download - small enough that I could handle printing it out, and I still have the .pdf file for when I need to search it. It's pretty dense, and ...

Jan Goyvaerts
Lulu.com, 2006
A decent book, needs improvement
I actually read the online version of the book. It is available at regular-expressions.info and is very good for a quick reference.
Bad Points
The order of the chapters needs some improvement. Chapter 10 covers the * and the + operators. But the author actually uses them in previous chapters. ...
