Other useful regex resources include: - "Regular Expression Pocket Reference for Perl, Ruby, PHP, Python, C, Java and .Net" (Tony Stubblebine, 2007, O'Reilly) https://www.geos.ed.ac.uk/~bmg/software/Perl%20Books/RegExp_perl_python_java_etc.pdf - https://www.regular-expressions.info/tutorial.html (Jan Goyvaerts). - Goyvaerts also sells a tool called RegexBuddy that works like Regex101 but is perhaps a bit more powerful. Unfortanately, it is proprietary software and requires Windows (or Wine), but if you don't mind that then it is a good way to learn regexes. https://www.regexbuddy.com Good luck! -- A: When it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: When is top-posting a bad thing? () ASCII ribbon campaign. Please avoid HTML emails & proprietary /\ file formats. (Why? See e.g. https://v.gd/jrmGbS ).
