@NogDogNov 03.2005 — If you [i]really[/i] want to get into it: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/regex2/index.html .

I picked it up in bits and pieces over the years, starting with stuff I was doing with Perl to analyze test outputs; then later with PHP, mainly depending on the link Bokeh gave above.

once you get the syntax down it becomes easy to make complex patterns

@LiLcRaZyFuZzYNov 03.2005 — That O'reilly booki is not bad really, but it's not php specific, but the pattern of regex is the same in different languages, what changes are the delimiters and the modifiers.

So i guess the book is fine ?
