Sams Teach Yourself Regular Expressions in 10 Minutes is Regular Expressions for the rest of us. Regular expressions and the regular expression language have been around for many years. Regular expression experts have long been armed with an incredibly powerful tool, one that can be used to perform all sorts of powerful text processing and manipulation in just about every language and on every platform. That's the good news. The bad news is that for too long, regular expressions have been the exclusive property of only the most tech savvy. Most of us do not fully understand what regular expressions do and what problems they solve. And those who have braved them find regular expression syntax to be unintuitive, and even convoluted at times. That's sad, because the truth is that regular expressions are nowhere near as complex as they appear to be at first glance. All it takes is a clear understanding of the problem being solved and how to leverage regular expressions so as to solve them. Are you new to regular expressions? Do you want to quickly learn how to get the most out of the regular expression language? Do you want to gain an edge by learning to solve real problems using one of the most powerful (and least understood) tools available to you? Do you build Web applications and crave more sophisticated form and text processing? Are you are a developer (using Perl, ASP, Visual Basic, .NET, C#, Java, JSP, PHP, ColdFusion, and many other languages) and want to learn how to use regular expressions within your own application development? Do you want to be productive quickly and easily in regular expressions without having to call someone for help? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you'll find this little book to be exactly what you've been looking for.
