I don't know offhand where in the CF docs you'd find information on the
regular expressions themselves, but there are tons out there for Perlish
REs, which are very, very similar to the REs in CF.
I know there are several tutorials floating around, and there are
several good books on the subject. If you just want to ask a whole
bunch of questions and learn about them that way, the CF-Regex list
(also hosted by the fine people at House of Fusion) is a great resource.
If it seems quiet, it's because it's mostly subscribed to by experts,
who don't tend to ask too many questions. :-) However, they do tend to
answer a lot of them.
Anyway, if you want more information on where to learn more about regex,
just ask and I'd be happy to dump tons of info on you. :-)
