My Rating

This is a great intro book to regular expressions. The best, I would say. This is the first book I read on regular expressions. I loved the short-chapter style; I loved the examples and the referenced program to run them (though now I can run RE in Eclipse). Like I said, this is the best intro to RE, a valuable tool in your toolbox. For a more advanced book, Mastering Regular Expressions is considered a bible.
