regexp

[SDP2006]

I need to learn regexp, but it makes my head spin when I look at it. Does anyone know of a *good* tutorial/resource for it? Yes, I've googled.


Thanks

If you look on http://www.php.net/preg-replace i believe it tells you something about the syntax. Im good at regexp (not mordred level though) and i learnt most of what I know from php.net and looking at other code and testing the effects of it.

The relevant pages in the PHP manual are of course the first address to look up syntax of PHP's regexp implementation. Some other helpful pages are:

http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/helpsheets/regex.html (a helpful tutorial, though aimed at Perl/Unix)

http://www.regexblogs.com/ (yes, a weblog about regexps...)

http://www.regular-expressions.info/ (general tutorial, many languages)

If it seems to take some time to 'grok' the concepts, that's quite normal. They do indeed look like fuzzy hieroglyphs.
