There is a second edition, who knew? I use the first one of this book and have for years. It focuses on PERL in the examples but scripting language doesn't matter, the syntax of the regular expressions is what you really need to know. I have used the PERL based book for ColdFusion since the mid 90's and it works great in CF. I recommend reading the book at least once all the way through and then using as a reference after that.
I did like the first one, it's up there with SQL for Smarties in my favorites. I may have to look for the next version now that I know it exists, but has RE really changed any? Are we going to have to start versioning RE's?
