Product Description

Product Description

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.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too many implementations covered, Dec 15 2003
By "mark_seattle" (Kirkland, WA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Regular Expressions Pocket Reference (Paperback)
I love this series of books (the C#, C++ and STL pocket refs are my favorite), but the Regular Expression pocket ref tries to cover too many implementations. You only get about 10 pages for each language so, unless you use multiple implementations (e.g. C#/.NET, Perl, JavaScript, etc), this just isn't good value for money. I returned my copy and printed out a quick reference from one of the many Internet programming sites.

3.0 out of 5 stars Too Many Implementations?, May 29 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Regular Expressions Pocket Reference (Paperback)
Based on the .NET chapter it would appear that the author tackled too many implementations. It looked like all of the .NET stuff came from the SDK, sans discussion & examples.

Developers worrying about an expression to be executed on several different platforms might find this type of overview helpful. How many folks do that though?

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Regex Reference, Mar 10 2004
This review is from: Regular Expressions Pocket Reference (Paperback)
I recommend getting this book
if you feel comfortable with regular expressions
and regular expressions are important to you.

As one expects from an O'Reilly Pocket Reference,
this book is compact but still covers a lot of ground.
For a whole bunch of applications, it provides:
* tables of various groupings of regex metacharacters,
summarizing their syntax and meaning;
* summaries of other regex related features,
but not in tabular form;
* examples;
* a few references in case you need to go deeper.

The information is concise and well chosen.

This is a reference,
but in applications where you use regular expressions less,
it may also be useful for expanding your knowledge significantly.
It was for me.

If you wish, take a look at my
more detailed review on Oakland Perl Mongers.

4.0 out of 5 stars very useful little book
Nice compendium, flip thru this before tackling Friedl's Reg Ex book. Pocket refs're 7" high, <100 pages, so there's lots that could be added, some things to cut out. Read more
