This handy little book offers programmers a complete overview of the
syntax and semantics of regular expressions that are at the heart of
every text-processing application. Ideal as a quick reference, Regular
Expression Pocket Reference covers the regular expression APIs for Perl
5.8, Ruby (including some upcoming 1.9 features), Java, PHP, .NET and
C#, Python, vi, JavaScript, and the PCRE regular expression libraries.
This concise and easy-to-use reference puts a very powerful tool for
manipulating text and data right at your fingertips. Composed of a
mixture of symbols and text, regular expressions can be an outlet for
creativity, for brilliant programming, and for the elegant solution.
Regular Expression Pocket Reference offers an introduction to regular
expressions, pattern matching, metacharacters, modes and constructs, and
then provides separate sections for each of the language APIs, with
complete regex listings including:

- Supported metacharacters for each language API
- Regular expression classes and interfaces for Ruby, Java, .NET, and
C#
- Regular expression operators for Perl 5.8
- Regular expression module objects and functions for Python
- Pattern-matching functions for PHP and the vi editor
- Pattern-matching methods and objects for JavaScript
- Unicode Support for each of the languages With plenty of examples
and other resources, Regular Expression Pocket Reference summarizes the
complex rules for performing this critical text-processing function, and
presents this often-confusing topic in a friendly and well-organized
format. This guide makes an ideal on-the-job companion.
