See you there. -Chris ============================================================ Triangle Java Users Group Presents: Regular Expressions presented by Neal Ford Monday, March 21, 2005 6:30 PM - 9:00 PM 4001 E. Chapel Hill-Nelson Highway Research Triangle Park, North Carolina Abstract: Regular expressions should be an integral part of every developer?s toolbox, but most don?t realize how important it is. Regular expressions have existed for decades, but many developers don't understand how to take full advantage of this powerful mechanism, either through command line tools and editors or in their development. This session shows how to fully exploit regular expressions. It begins with the basic premise of how regular expressions work, then shows how to take advantage of the RegEx library built into the Java platform. This session shows how to use wildcards, escape characters, meta-tags, character class operators, look-aheads/look-behinds, and how to use the greedy operators effectively. It covers regular expressions from the beginning through to advanced usage, both in Java and in tools that support regular expressions. This session is packed with real examples of regular expressions (including a game show with no fabulous prizes).
