I think this is because of problems some folks have had with electronic formats. I do see their point, but this is unfair to the editorial content.So. The following applies to the *paperback* book.In practice Freidl's book is primarily a programmer's reference. But like the best references (eg the C Programming Language) is formatted as a tutorial.Introductory chapters establish a need for regexs, giving a brief history and presenting some straightforward use cases.Thereafter Mr Freidl wades deeper into the waters of obscurity, and we are soon dealing with the minutiae of mode modifiers and greedy versus lazy quantifiers.Some of this stuff goes rather deeper than I have ever needed to go. For example, opening the book at random to page 245, I read the subheadings 'Pre-check of required character/substring optimization' and 'Length-cognizance optimization'. Not of immediate use to me, but I am glad to know where I can find this if ever (heaven forfend) the performance of my application depends on the construction of regexs.The last chapters of the book deal with the respective peculiarities and APIs of the regex implementations of Perl, Java, .NET and PHP. This last bit feels a little out of date - an updated edition would, I suppose, highlight JavaScript and other languages that have become important or gained regex implementations since the 2006 edition, eg C++ 11 and even Delphi. Meanwhile Perl's star has faded somewhat since the book was last revised; perhaps it should no longer be the 'default' language of example?But this is nit-picking. I dare say it is possible to resolve any regex difficulty with a little applied Googling; but to have this book on your shelf is to know that you have an articulate, clear and complete explanation close to hand. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Very thorough introduction into regular expressions *by P***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 July 2013* I bought this book to help build up an understanding of regular expressions (regex), after finding the information on the internet confusing and fragmented. This book does a good job of explaining regex, it's benefits, it's uses and various implentations. I initially needed the book to be able to identify specifc content in emails (dates/product numbers), but now find I use them all the time when working with text for anything but the most basic string operations.Would recommend this for any programmer who does not already know regular expressions or that needs to get a thorough understanding. As long as you use strings you will be able to draw some benefit.As for me, I wonder how I ever managed without! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Five Stars *by R***Z on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 May 2016* Great book, must have for those serious about scripting and text parsing. ## Frequently Bought Together - Mastering Regular Expressions: Understand Your Data and Be More Productive - SED & AWK 2e --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/311143676-mastering-regular-expressions-3e-understand-your-data-and-be-more](https://www.desertcart.in/products/311143676-mastering-regular-expressions-3e-understand-your-data-and-be-more) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-05-21*
