Parsing a text file for information

[Colin Meeks]

Thanks all, worked a treat. I don't suppose someone knows of a handy
reference that
includes a stack of samples for real programming problems. i.e. extracting
URLS
from a document, removing duplicate lines, removing comments from source
code,
etc. that kind of thing.  I think if I had such a reference it would be a
lot easier to come
to grips with regular expressions.

Regards

Colin
