Books : Regular Expression Pocket Reference: Regular Expressions for Perl, Ruby, PHP, Python, C, Java and .NET (Pocket Reference (O'Reilly))

  

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - very useful little book
Nice compendium, flip thru this before tackling Friedl's Reg Ex book. Pocket refs're 7" high, <100 pages, so there's lots that could be added, some things to cut out.

- hilite significant diffs betw perl 5.8 & other regex modules e.g. MatchEvaluator delegates, or PHP's /U modifier. In particular, compare perl, java.util.regex & C#.

- either add emacs, or cut out vi. If you keep vi, hilite diffs betw vim & vi.

- mention performance issues (grouping, lookbehinds, stuff like that)

- mention deprecated modules to avoid: python regex, PHP's ereg_ functions

Aside from that, it's nice to have a portable summary of perl, python, C#, java and PHP, along with refs to Friedl's book.
