I have seen many recommendations of Mastering Regular Expressions by Jeffrey Friedl (O'Reilly), perhaps it's in your library. I haven't read that book.

"man pcre" lists all manpages of that package. -- How many Vietnam vets does it take to screw in a light bulb? You don't know, man. You don't KNOW.
