If you like books, I'd reccommend starting with the regex chapter of Advanced Macromedia ColdFusion 5 Application Development by Ben Forta
However, that seems to assume that you already know a bit about regex and just need to know about porting to CF5 POSIX-like syntax and the limitations of the CF5 engine. If you want to know more about regex in general, and especially Javascript and Perlish (and therefore CFMXish) regex, I'd reccommend Mastering Regular Expressions from O'Reilly. If you want something quick, easy, and interactive, I'd reccommend http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=threads&forumid=21 for all your CF regex needs.
