takes the perfect position between knowing nothing about RegEx and the
Mastering RegEx book. The problem with knowing nothing is obvious while the
problem with the mastering book is that it's just so dense. A RegEx fan like
myself can enjoy it, but it's just got so much in it and in so many
directions that it can confuse someone new to RegEx or who just uses it now
and again.
Your book covers the syntax that people need, how to use it and lays in out
in a 'teach yourself' way, something really missing in most RegEx docs. I
expect it to take a solid place in the RegEx world and spawn off RegEx books
from other publishers who want to be where you are (or will be). :)
Now Macromedia knows the new RegEx language features to put into Blackstone.
Just use your book as the blueprint. :)
