Does anyone teach regular expressions?
I included a chapter on RE in my beginners book. The bulk of the content can be found in an article on the infomIT web site (you need to register, but its free).
I think it's one of the most powerful programming tools (and from my informal observations, one of the most overlooked).
I agree, hence the chapter. But I also acknowledge that REs can be very daunting to a novice - they can just look so incomprehensible.
I've written a tool called Recon , the Regular Expression Test Console.
If I'd known and its freely available I might have asked permission to put it on the CDROM! :-)
It certainly looks good... Alan G. http://www.crosswinds.net/~agauld
