58 <p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression">Regular expressions</a>, or regex for short, are used for searching or matching text. Since this is such a common need, regex are found everywhere in programming. Since you just learned Bash, you can learn regex with the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grep">grep</a> command that uses regex.</p>
59
60 <p>Unlike with Bash, there are a few decent grep tutorials, so I don't have to write my own. Here they are:</p>
61
62 <ul>
63 <li><a href="https://vegastack.com/tutorials/regular-expressions-in-grep/">Regular Expressions in Grep</a></li>
64 <li><a href="https://cs.nyu.edu/~mohri/unix08/lect4">Regular Expressions</a></li>
65 <li><a href="https://www.gnu.org/software/grep/manual/grep.html">GNU Grep</a></li>
66 </ul>
67
68 <p>I suggest that you just read through these tutorials so that you get a sense for how regex and grep work. You don't need to practice anything here. You can come back to these tutorials later when you have a real need for regex or grep.</p>
69
70 <p>If you become a serious programmer, then you should have a deeper understanding of regex. In that case I recommend the book <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Mastering-Regular-Expressions-Jeffrey-Friedl/dp/0596528124/">Mastering Regular Expressions</a>.</p>
