I found one called Reggy quite a while ago. It's written by Sam Souder, but I don't have a URL for it.

depends entirely on what you are trying to capture - is the "edit"
always there? is the  /admin/users/ always there?
yes... they are, only the 'id' number is going to change....


in general I'm a great fan ofhttp://www.w3schools.com/but not sure
what to recommend for regular expressions in general - most sites are
confusing rather than educational for the novice :) you can 
tryhttp://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_obj_regexp.asp

I tried  the following

var editRegExp = /(^.*?)([^\/]*)\/edit\?(.*$)/;

var edit_link = $('edit_user').down('a');
var match = editRegExp.exec(edit_link.href.toString());

on this url  :

 /admin/users/4c6a275ea326cb01f4000001/edit?locale=en

seems to work , maybe a better writing ?

Hi Dave .. sorry to ask you an additional trick ...  but as you are
qui good in RegExp ...

what if the href is as following :

  /admin/users/4c6a275ea326cb01f4000001/edit?locale=en

in this case (^.*?) is getting the 'edit' string, not the id number :
4c6a275ea326cb01f4000001

btw : which tutorial do you recommend to get a better understanding of
RegExp ..?  (I found some of them w good explanation but few
examples;..)

you might find this regular expression useful:

var myRegExp = /(^.*?)([^\/]*)\?(.*$)/;
var match = myRegExp.exec(link.href.toString());
alert(match[1] + '\n' + match[2] + '\n' + match[3]);
