Introduction to Regular Expressions in 20 Minutes: (Coffee Book Series)

By Kenwright

You'd be crazy not to give regular expressions a try if you work with any text-based data systems! Regular expressions are morbidly attractive, because on a subconscious level they provide an elegant and compact way to accomplish a lot with just a few words. Regular expressions are a concept used in many different programming environments for sophisticated pattern matching. They are an incredibly powerful tool that can amplify your capacity to find, manage, and transform data. Once you embrace regular expressions, you'll solve problems faster and with less effort. Regular expressions are a tiny thing which contains enormous magical power. You won't regret learning regular expressions, how could you? Learning regular expressions in 20 Minutes is an ambitious guide that helps you get started. Simplified examples with visual aids, this book guides you through a series of chapters, progressively introducing you to core concepts (including tips, script listings and visual illustrations). This introductory text is a practical guide to finding your way to getting started with regular expressions in a world where we never have enough time.
