any good regex resources?

[giadich]

i am not good with regex. can you guys point out some good resources for that?

I picked most of it up by reading Java tutorials

In java, the regex class is called Pattern, and the javadoc is very comprehensive. MSDN docs are good too.. I also wrote some tools a while ago that help design regexes. I can give you those if you want

http://www.regular-expressions.info/ has a great tutorial and reference. It is not VB.Net specific but it is not difficult to use the Regex class once you know the regular expression language.

There are 2 great sources of Regex reading for the VB.net developer

• Visual Basic.NET Text Manipulation String Handling and Regular Expressions
• Regular Expressions with .NET by Dan Appleman (PDF)

Both books are good, but the Dan Appleman e-book really gets into the majority of whats capable in .Net
