Product Description

Product Description

RegEx is supported in all major development environments (for use in editing and working with code) and will thus appeal to anyone using these tools. In addition, every JavaScript developer should be using RegEx, but most don't as it has never been taught to them properly before. Developers using ASP, C#, ColdFusion, Java JSP, PHP, Perl, Python, and more can (and should) be using RegEx, and so every one of them is a potential reader too. The reader of this book will learn how to:

  • Match characters sets
  • Match repeating characters (using minimums and maximums if needed)
  • Match (or ignore) based on case
  • Build sub-expressions
  • Use all of the special characters
  • Work with excape sequences
  • Use POSIX classes to simplify complex expressions
  • Use back-references
  • Use look-behind operators

Sams Teach Yourself Regular Expressions in 10 Minutes is a tutorial book organized into a series of easy-to-follow 10-minute lessons. These well targeted lessons teach you in 10 minutes what other books might take hundreds of pages to cover. Instead of dwelling on syntax, terminology, and arcane examples and scenarios, this book takes a very hands-on approach to solving the needs of the majority of RegEx users who simply need to manipulate data.

5.0 out of 5 stars Regex Beginner Dream Book!, 10 Nov 2005
By A Customer
I started reading Friedl's book which is the acknowledged Regex bible, however I found it quite heavy going. Based on customer ratings I ordered this little book by Ben Forta and was amazed at how much he covered in such a few pages, and with such stunning clarity. This book is a must if you are a regex newbie. Even if you've used regular expressions before but are a bit rusty, this book is fantastic value for money. It definitely deserves 5 stars. BUY IT!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Does What It Says On The Tin, 25 Feb 2006
This book has been invaluable to me. Obviously, if you want the whole shebang then get the O'Reilly book written by Friedl, but if you just need to know the basics or something to dip in and out of quickly then I would recommend this.

I've liked others in the 10 minutes series, and I'm glad I got this. I use Regex all over the place now, truly invaluable to know if you work with any text that needs manipulation. At the end of 1 day I'd finished the book and was doing stuff I couldn't have had a hope of doing before.
