Part of my sessions include regular expressions. My students find that biterscripting is the easiest way to learn regular expressions. Biterscripting is free, it does not require anything else (compiler, etc.), it works on any windows version - so my students can download it on their home computers and start experimenting with regular expressions right away. Biterscripting provides many REs and stream editors (inserter, appender, enumerator, alterer, extractor by entire file, string, line, word, character) so that students can do more sophisticated things than just parsing. I belive a free download is available at http://www.biterscripting.com . Sen I am a scripting trainer. Part of my sessions include regular expressions.

I'm going to give these a shot :).

Short of taking a full scale course, regexes seem like the kind of thing best picked up incrementally. Feel free to take it another level deeper. Would welcome a regex 102 post.

It's worth noting that this isn't a safe assumption for alphanumeric characters. For example 'n' is not equivalent to '\n', as the latter is interpreted as a new-line character. (correct me if this isn't the case in GA) “It doesn’t matter if you escape a non-special character.”

If there's one thing I wish I knew more about, it's regular expressions. I think it was my new year's resolution last year, and here we are at 2008 already! Maybe 2008 will be the year. Good intro, it's helpful for me. Tyson Thanks for posting this, Justin. If there’s one thing I wish I knew more about, it’s regular expressions.
