"Regular Expressions" refers to the minilanguage that is found in several Unix tools, programming languages, text editors, and office software suites. A regular expression is syntax for describing a pattern of text, which then can be used to extract, replace, and verify the content of data.
This seminar will cover the basics to crafting simple regular expressions using the Perl-compatible regular expressions (PCRE) syntax and focuses on the uses of regular expressions in World Wide Web applications.
