I don't know of any places that have exercises but something that might be helpful is a regex evaluator (there's a nice one for the Eclipse framework called QuickREx). It lets you compare your regex against sample text and will tell you if it matches or not. I learned regexs by writing Perl parses of text files and having a regex evaluator sped things up immensely. Here's the link to QuickREx if you use Eclipse: http://www.bastian-bergerhoff.com/eclipse/features/web/QuickREx/toc.html HTH, Melissa _______________________________________________ EUGLUG mailing list euglug@euglug.org http://www.euglug.org/mailman/listinfo/euglug
