This site does a masterful job of explaining  
regular expressions in ruby, java, & perl:

> **[Regular-Expressions.info - Regex Tutorial, Examples and Reference - Regexp...](https://www.regular-expressions.info/)**
>
> At Regular-Expressions.info you will find a wide range of in-depth information about a powerful search pattern language called regular expressions.

The ruby page is a good starting point:

> **[Ruby Regexp Class - Regular Expressions in Ruby](https://www.regular-expressions.info/ruby.html)**
>
> Learn how to use regular expressions with Ruby and the Ruby Regexp class

And there is a printed book. I plan to have a  
copy on my bookshelf:

> **[Print Regular Expressions Tutorial and Reference](https://www.regular-expressions.info/print.html)**
>
> Download your printable PDF copy of the complete regular expressions tutorial and reference
