Description
This book is about how to use the Java library to process regular expressions. It has a lot of examples to show how to use the library to solve common problems. Java/J2SE 1.4 added a library for handling regular expressions, which makes this book even more appealing to developers.
This is the only book to use the Java library to process regular expressions. It is appealing because it has so many examples. Regular expressions books are not so much "studied" as they are "looked through" and mined for good solutions. For example, the right regex expression can replace an entire page of code with two lines. Java/J2SE 1.4 adds a library for handling regular expressions. Regular expressions are text expressions used to find bits of information in larger bits of text, like 'find me all sentences with the word John' in it, or does any file include '5 e's'... The author offers a look at what regular expressions are and how to use the Java library to process regular expressions. There are plenty of examples to show typical and atypical uses of the library, a powerful learning tool.
