If you have been following my blog for a while you know I’m a big fan of regular expressions. Previously I also showed you how to use Regular Expressions from LotusScript using the Microsoft VBScript component. What have been missing however was a simple “This is how to get going with regular expressions” tutorial but that has been solved. Take a look at Russ Olsen’s weblog and his two part series “Regular Expressions In Ten Steps”. Check it out using the links below.
I also recommend the Mastering Regular Expressions book from O’Reilly as a good guide into this exciting realm.
There are two inexpensive tools — PowerGREP and in particular (for programming) RegexBuddy — at Jan Goyvaerts’ website: http://www.jgsoft.com.
To learn, there’s RegexBuddy’s detailed tutorial on regular eExpressions at http://www.regexbuddy.com/tutorial.html
I have found Jan’s products easy to use, solid, and good value for money — and I am not affiliated with him in any way, just a happy end user!
