Mastering Regular Expressions by Jeffrey Ef Friedl
Regular expressions, a tool for manipulating text and data, are found in scripting languages, editors, programming environments, and specialized tools. This text provides a guide to the steps of crafting a regular expression, examining several tools and providing examples, with a focus on Perl.
Jeffrey Friedl was raised in the countryside of Rootstown, Ohio, and had aspirations of being an astronomer until one day noticing a TRS-80 Model I sitting unused in the corner of the chem lab (bristling with a full 16k RAM, no less). He eventually began using UNIX (and regular expressions) in 1980. With degrees in computer science from Kent (B.S.) and the University of New Hampshire (M.S.), he is now an engineer with Omron Corporation, Kyoto, Japan. He lives in Nagaokakyou-city with Tubby, his long-time friend and Teddy Bear, in a tiny apartment designed for a (Japanese) family of three. Jeffrey applies his regular-expression know-how to make the world a safer place for those not bilingual in English and Japanese. He built and maintains the World Wide Web Japanese-English dictionary server, http://www.itc.omron.com/cgi-bin/j-e, and is active in a variety of language-related projects, both in print and on the Web. When faced with the daunting task of filling his copious free time, Jeffrey enjoys riding through the mountainous countryside of Japan on his Honda CB-1. At the age of 30, he finally decided to put his 6'4" height to some use, and joined the Omron company basketball team. While finalizing the manuscript for Mastering Regular Expressions., he took time out to appear in his first game, scoring five points in nine minutes of play, which he feels is pretty darn good for a geek. When visiting his family in The States, Jeffrey enjoys dancing a two-step with his mom, binking old coins with his dad, and playing schoffkopf with his brothers and sisters.
