LinuxCBT RegEx Edition

LinuxCBT RegEx Edition

LinuxCBT RegEx Edition focuses on the application of POSIX and
Perl-compatible Regular Expressions.

Regular Expressions are critical to efficiently parsing textual data
(log file content, data feeds, files & directories, etc.). RegEx support
is included with Linux | Unix operating systems via ubiquitous tools
such as: grep, awk, sed, Perl, PHP, etc., and provides systems
administrator/engineers and developers alike, the ability search,
time-effectively, considerable amounts of textual data, using literals,
character classes, metacharacters, metasequences, etc.

Let LinuxCBT RegEx Edition cost-effectively teach you Regular Expressions!
