Abstract
Regular expressions are EXTREMELY useful and I cannot overemphasize the word extremely. Regular expressions provide a brief, flexible and comprehensive way to specify or recognize text strings, e.g. character patterns. They are available in virtually all Linux tools and programming languages. A must read chapter.
