Rails - Sep 2005 - Any good online references or tutorials for REGEX?

Hello,

I''ve come to see that Ruby is heavily reliant on Regular  
Expressions.  I feel I don''t have a thorough understanding of the  
subject.  Are there any resources online for Regular Expressions that  
go pretty in depth?

- Jim

http://www.regular-expressions.info is as good as any. It goes pretty in-depth
into the nitty-gritty of RegExs and will tell you pretty much all there is to
know. O''Reily''s "Mastering Regular Expressions" is
also constantly recommended, though I haven''t read it personally, so I
can''t make a recommendation either way. It''s also a book, so
it isn''t free.

Thanks!  I have yet another question.. is there any useful RegEx  
software for MAC OS X?  I''ve seen RegEx Coach but as far as I know  
that only runs on Windows?

You might want to Google for "regexplor".
