"This is a well-researched book, full of information, from which I learned a number of new tricks just by reading the introductory chapter. Presenting the same tasks solved in different programming languages is valuable because it exposes important differences in how the different languages treat the "same" regular expression. Beginners as well as experienced users of regular expressions will find this book useful. "
-- Nikolaj Lindberg, Computational Linguist, STTS Speech Technology Services

"The Regular Expression Cookbook provides elegant solutions for immediate problems while building a strong understanding of the solution used. Overall, I am stunned at the attention to detail in the recipes. I've reviewed a good number of programming books and very few are as well-researched or thorough. "
-- Zak Greant, open technology advocate and strategist
