Product Description
Regular expressions are an extremely powerful tool for manipulating text and data. They are now standard features in a wide range of languages and well loved tools, including Perl, Python, Ruby, Java, VB.NET and C# (and any language using the .NET Framework), PHP, and MySQL.
If you don’t use regular expressions yet, you will learn in this book a whole new world of mastery over your data. If you already use them, you’ll appreciate this book’s unprecedented detail and breadth of coverage. If you reckon you know all you need to know about regular expressions, this book is a stunning eye-opener.
As this book shows, a command of regular expressions is an invaluable skill. Regular expressions allow you to code complex and subtle text processing that you never imagined could be automated. Regular expressions can save you time and aggravation. They can be used to craft elegant solutions to a wide range of problems. Once you’ve mastered regular expressions, they’ll become an invaluable part of your toolkit. You will wonder how you ever got by without them.
Yet despite their wide availability, flexibility, and unparalleled power, regular expressions are frequently underutilized. Yet what is power in the hands of an expert can be fraught with peril for the unwary. Mastering Regular Expressions will help you navigate the minefield to becoming an expert and help you optimize your use of regular expressions.
Mastering Regular Expressions, Third Edition, now includes a full chapter devoted to PHP and its powerful and expressive suite of regular expression functions, in addition to enhanced PHP coverage in the central “core” chapters. Furthermore, this edition has been updated throughout to reflect advances in other languages, including expanded in-depth coverage of Sun’s java.util.regex package, which has emerged as the standard Java regex implementation.Topics include:
* A comparison of features among different versions of many languages and tools
* How the regular expression engine works
* Optimization (major savings available here!)
* Matching just what you want, but not what you don’t want
* Sections and chapters on individual languages
Written in the lucid, entertaining tone that makes a complex, dry topic become crystal-clear to programmers, and sprinkled with solutions to complex real-world problems, Mastering Regular Expressions, Third Edition offers a wealth information that you can place to immediate use.
Reviews of this new edition and the second edition:
“There isn’t a better (or more useful) book available on regular expressions.”
–Zak Greant, Managing Director, eZ Systems
“A real tour-de-force of a book which not only covers the mechanics of regexes in extraordinary detail but also talks about efficiency and the use of regexes in Perl, Java, and .NET…If you use regular expressions as part of your professional work (even if you already have a excellent book on whatever language you’re programming in) I would strongly recommend this book to you.”
–Dr. Chris Brown, Linux Format
“The author does an outstanding job leading the reader from regex novice to master. The book is extremely simple to read and chock full of useful and relevant examples…Regular expressions are valuable tools that every developer should have in their toolbox. Mastering Regular Expressions is the definitive guide to the subject, and an outstanding resource that belongs on every programmer’s bookshelf. Ten out of Ten Horseshoes.”
–Jason Menard, Java Ranch
From the Publisher
Regular expressions are a powerful tool for manipulating text and data. If you don’t use them yet, you will learn in this book a whole new world of mastery over your data. If you already use them, you’ll appreciate this book’s unprecedented detail and breadth of coverage. If you reckon you know all you need to know about regular expressions, this book is a stunning eye-opener. With regular expressions, you can save yourself time and aggravation while dealing with documents, mail messages, log files — you name it — any type of text or data. For example, regular expressions can play a vital role in constructing a World Wide Web CGI script, which can involve text and data of all sorts. Regular expressions are not a tool in and of themselves, but are included as part of a larger utility. The classic example is grep. These days, regular expressions can be found everywhere, such as in: Scripting languages (including Perl, Tcl, awk, and Python) Editors (including Emacs, vi, and Nisus Writer) Programming environments (including Delphi and Visual C++) Specialized tools (including lex, Expect, and sed) While many of these tools originated on UNIX, they are now available for a wide variety of platforms, including DOS/Windows and MacOS, so you can use them in your home environment. Additionally, many favorite programming languages offer regular-expression libraries, so you can include support for them in your own programs, and yes, even applets. There can be certain subtle, but valuable, ways to reckon when you’re using regular expressions, and these can be taught. Jeffrey Friedl has spent years helping people on the Net know and use regular expressions. In this book he leads you through the steps of knowing exactly how to craft a regular expression to get the job done. Regular expressions are not used in a vacuum. In this book, a variety of tools are examined and used in an extensive array of examples. Perl, in particular, is very well represented throughout the book, with a major chapter dedicated entirely to it alone. Perl is extremely well-endowed with rich and expressive regular expressions. Yet what is power in the hands of an expert can be fraught with peril for the unwary. This book will help you navigate the minefield to becoming an expert. –This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
About the Author
Jeffrey Friedl was raised in the countryside of Rootstown, Ohio, and had aspirations of being an astronomer until one day he noticed a TRS-80 Model I sitting unused in the corner of the chem lab (bristling with a full 16K of RAM, no less). He eventually started using Unix (and regular expressions) in 1980, and earned degrees in Computer Science from Kent State University (BS) and the University of New Hampshire (MS). He did kernel development for Omron Corporation in Kyoto, Japan for eight years before moving in 1997 to Silicon Valley to apply his regular-expression know-how to financial news and data for a then small-known company called Yahoo!.
