Book Reviews of Regular Expressions with .NET
Book Review: Best $15 I ever spent
Summary: 5 Stars
I've read through it once, and I'll definitely have to read through it again. And probably at least once more after that. It's the perfect size for a download - small enough that I could handle printing it out, and I still have the .pdf file for when I need to search it. It's pretty dense, and there's a lot of "You need to understand 3 things about xxWhatever, and I'll explain the 3rd thing later on", but let's face it, RegEx is a VERY complicated, meaty topic. He's got an appendix to handle getting all the escape codes etc in one place for reference. The best thing is that he includes a link to free software, a RegEx tester that you can download so you can test his examples to see how they work, and then, of course, test your own expressions. If you are really new to Regular Expressions, Jeffrey E.F. Friedl has written a 430 page book, Mastering Regular Expressions, which you might also want to consider.
Summary of Regular Expressions with .NET
With the release of Visual Studio .NET, a great deal of attention has been placed on the Visual Studio .NET languages, Visual Basic .NET, C# and Managed C++ (not to mention the dozens of others under development by various companies). It might surprise you to know that yet another language is built into Visual Studio - one that can be used in conjunction with VB .NET, C# or any other .NET language. A language that is terse to such a degree that the term "concise" does not come close to describing its brevity of syntax. A language so cryptic that it can take hours to truly understand a single line of code.Yet it is a language that can save you hours upon hours of time in any application that involves text processing or data validation. It is a language that can perform complex data validation tasks in a single line of code. It is a language that performs sophisticated search and replace operations on strings. It is a language that should be part of every programmer's toolbox.
The language is the "Regular Expression Language" - a language designed to parse and manipulate blocks of text. This ebook is intended to be a complete introduction to Regular Expressions that can even be read and understood by programmers who have never heard of them. It is also intended to help experienced Regular Expression programmers come up to speed quickly on the .NET implementation of Regular Expressions.
