Product Description

Product Description
Regular expressions are such a powerful tool for manipulating text and data that anyone who uses a computer can benefit from them. Composed of a mixture of symbols and text, regular expressions can be an outlet for creativity, for brilliant programming, and for the elegant solution. While a command of regular expressions is an invaluable skill, all there is to know about them fills a very large volume, and you don't always have time to thumb through hundreds of pages each time a question arises. The answer is the "Regular Expression Pocket Reference". This guide offers programmers a complete overview of the syntax and semantics of regular expressions, which are at the heart of every text-processing application. Ideal as an introduction for beginners and a quick reference for advanced programmers, Regular Expression Pocket Reference is a comprehensive guide to regular expression APIs for C, Perl, Java, .NET, Python, emacs, and the POSIX regular expression libraries.

4.0 out of 5 stars An essential in my work bag, 18 Nov 2006
By purpleblob (Guildford, UK) - See all my reviews
Okay, let me start by saying this book pretty much repeats information throughout the book and that's simply because it's aim is to show regular expressions in Perl, C, PHP, Python, Java and .NET. So it's a little like getting a manual for your DVD player with instruction in French, English etc. when all you care about is English. However, if you happen to work in various languages (as I have in the past) then this is actually a major selling point.

I do not use regular expression often enough to have instant recall of the metacharacters etc. and so this little book (at a pretty good price) which fits perfectly into a small pocket in my laptop bag is a MUST HAVE for me for those times I do need to write reg. expression code.

I don't leave home without it :-)

4.0 out of 5 stars Essential pocket guide, 27 Feb 2004
If use perl or a unix style operating system then this little book is a real gem. Unless that this, you can remember what all the funny little characters mean :-) I find myself using perl only a few times a month, so invariably when I want to do something, I know that it is possible, but I have to go searching for my camel to remind myself of the syntax.

Unlike some other pocket guides, this isn't just a reference, but actually contains some tutorial elements.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Memory Aid, 20 Aug 2006
By John Lawrence (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A few years ago I read "Mastering Regular Expressions" (the somewhat weightier sibling of this volume) cover to cover and loved every page. It's a great book, readable and filled with detailed explanations but within a few months almost all I had learnt was completely gone.

That is where this pocket reference comes in. The perfect tool to quickly jog your memory and remind you of that unusual rule. If you're new to regular expressions I'd recommend "Mastering Regular Expressions" first but, if you can, buy both. You won't regret it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good pocket reference for regex.
This book is a good reference for regex. I purchased this book because it covered Python syntax and it's quick and easy to use. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Cute, but not what I'd hoped for.
It's handy to have a quick how-to for using regular expressions under different circumstances. But I'd rather have had more comprehensive cover of fewer languages!

5.0 out of 5 stars Yet another excellent Pocket Reference
I have several of the books in this series, and every one has been a lifesaver at some time or another, and I think this will be no exception. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Power users and programmers use these things daily...
...so it's handy to have this nearby.

Good reminder of syntax in various programming languages and Unix/Linux shell tools, also covers unicode. Nice intro, with index. Read more
