5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, 25 Jun 2009
By K. I. Miller "Keith Miller" (Bromley, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you use regular expressions in your IDE or programs then this is a great book to get. It is easier to read than Friedl's Mastering Regular Expressions book and is packed with examples that you can use to base your own regexs on.

5.0 out of 5 stars very good book, 23 Jul 2009
It's all in there one possibly ever needs to know about RegEx. A lot of really useful examples within a very well structured book. You will probably pick it up once you are faced with a problem. I found the solution to several of my problems readily made for me.
