Mastering Regular Expressions

Just came across this:
http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/regex...ter/index.html

I was considering getting that.

are regular expressions worth learning about for use in real world applications?

Depends on your real world scope!

Yes they are. You can replace MANY lines of validation code with one reg expression most of the time. They are super powerful.

I am going to check out this book.

Definitely they are . One example I've tried is prasing paragraph . It takes characters (similar weather numbers of char ) from the entire paragraph and gives you the result in MatchCollection . Man , I need that book from Kaza .:D :D
