Regexp Problem

Ruby
1

Hi all,

I recently started learning ruby from some videos online. These videos,
however are not so detailed and hence skim through the topics very fast.
Due to this I am facing a fair few problems in the understanding of
regexp.
I request you to please guide me to understand this concept better in
any
way and help me grow my knowledge of ruby.

Thanks in advance:)

There are also some good books by O’Reilly, but they go rather deep and
may be too theoretical.

Take a look at www.oldkingjames.org and click on learn to program. There
are some regx examples.
