I find myself digging into the O'Reilly Regex pocket reference almost daily. Regex has to be one of the greatest things ever devised, saves so much time when working in Java, .NYET and now Oracle too.

In my last job, I was able to convince a coworker to write me a regex to grep only lines that stared in C or M (cvs -qn update | grep ^[C|M]).

Now in my current job we COMPLETELY overuse regexes and I've learned to pump them out like they're english... I haven't figured out if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
