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.

Composed of a mixture of symbols and text, regular expressions can be an outlet for creativity, for brilliant programming, and for the elegant solution.

* 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
