Get a Grip on the Regex Machinery. To effectively use regular expressions, you need to understand how the machinery works under the hood. It’s about taking control of the search process, controlling how the pattern is matched, and thus getting both faster and more accurate results. In this illustrated guide, you gain precisely that understanding. You can even get started without any prior knowledge of regular expressions. Before you know it, advanced tools like reluctant, lookbehind and nondeterministic finite automata will be at your fingertips as you write efficient and elegant regexes with ease. This book is written for those who want to deeply understand regular expressions. Maybe you’ve come across them in programming languages or tools, but never really understood how they work under the hood. The book presents complex concepts in a simple and visual way, with clear examples and practical applications. Whether you are a programmer, data analyst, or just want to get better at text processing, this book will take your knowledge to the next level. The goal of the book is to give you a deep understanding of regular expressions so that you can use them with confidence and efficiency in your work. If you regularly use regular expressions in languages like Java, C#, Python, or Ruby, you’ll be able to write more efficient, accurate, and readable expressions after reading this book.
