It is appealing because it has so many examples. Regular expressions books are not so much "studied" as they are "looked through" and mined for good solutions. For example, the right regex expression can replace an entire page of code with two lines. Java/J2SE 1.4 adds a library for handling regular expressions. Regular expressions are text expressions used to find bits of information in larger bits of text, like 'find me all sentences with the word John' in it, or does any file include '5 e's'...
