HI Cearbhall,
Great find that. Just to let you know that O'reilly publishing also have a
very nice book on regular expressions. They are used all over the Unix
operating system. So for example, I can, using unix tools, look in all files
in a certain folder for, say, all student numbers beginning with "103", or
something like that.
Afraid I can't quite remember the name of the book offhand, but a search on
o'reilly will get it for you.
Thanks for the tutorial, I'll use it next year in class,
Dónal
