Add to this Mastering Regular Expressions by Jeffrey E. F. Friedl.
Unfortunately, the Friedl book is a US edition and costs over $30. However, "Learning Perl" provides a good introduction to regexes, and "Programming Perl" follows up. I wanted to buy the Friedl book a couple of years ago, but was put off by the price, especially when there were enough alternative references on regexex. Actually, I've been trying to persuade Akbar of SPD/ Computer Bookshop to publish the Friedl book as an Indian edition, which he says he will if there is sufficient demand.
Don't know how any Sysadmin can get by without using regexes.
Quite.
While on the topic, I will be giving an ACM lecture on Regular Expressions on Friday 20th July at NCST. Hope this is ample advance notice.
I'll be there.
Cheers,
Krishnan
