Hi prog, what's the best way to learn the regexp langauge? Any pet projects I can do just to learn the basics? I tried learning it the conventional way, but for some reason, my brain just couldn't take in the information that way.
Thanks prog

Anyone know of regular expressions are touring complete? I think they are:
1) they can be expressed through an infinitely long string of valid perl code, in either direction
2) at any given stage, they can:
* valid perl code

Parse IRC and BBCode. Also, get the little pocket handbook by O'Reilly. It's really handy. Takes you like a few hours of experimentation to learn regexes, seriously.
