Regular Expression Resources

Anybody have any URL's to tutorials and/or references for Regular
Expressions?

The four I have so far are:

http://docs.sun.com/source/816-6408-10/regexp.htm
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression
http://www.regular-expressions.info/javascript.html
http://www.webreference.com/js/column5/

The first two came from the FAQ, second two came from a Google Search
for "Javascript Regular Expression" so I am not sure how good they are.

And/or an answer to the question "What are Regular Expressions?" that
would be short enough to put into the FAQ?

To my suprise I found it completely online at book.google.

Correction: I was wrong. The books are NOT completely online.
Google implemented some 'viewing limit'.
You can tell I found books.google just now. ;-)
I found the two sample chapters sufficient that are still available
for free (and have not fallen victim to Google yet), but YMMV.

The discussion tab suggests otherwise. See also the history tab and the

Hi, I am replaceing a big string using different regular expressions (see some example at the end of the message). The problem is whenever I apply a "replace" it makes a new copy of string and I want to avoid that. My question here is if there is a way to pass either a memory stream or array of "find", "replace" expressions or any other way to avoid multiple copies of a string. Any help will be highly appreciated

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
