“Welcome back to the Scripting column; I have taken a brief,
unintended hiatus due to holiday mayhem, but now I’m back and will
attempt to be more regular with my columns.”
“If you will recall, last time, we covered a general
introduction to regular expressions and their usage. I showed how
they can be a powerful tool for a range of text manipulation, and
promised a real-world example in my next column. This is it.
Don’t worry if some of this seems a little bit complex or hard
to understand; it is meant to show some of the power granted by
regular expressions, and to introduce some of the more powerful
ways of handling them to you.“
