LinuxCBT RegEx



LinuxCBT RegEx Edition focuses on the application of POSIX and Perl-compatible Regular Expressions.
Regular Expressions are critical to efficiently parsing textual data (log file content, data feeds, files & directories, etc.). RegEx support is included with Linux | Unix operating systems via ubiquitous tools such as: grep, awk, sed, Perl, PHP, etc., and provides systems administrator/engineers and developers alike, the ability search, time-effectively, considerable amounts of textual data, using literals, character classes, metacharacters, metasequences, etc.
Let LinuxCBT RegEx Edition cost-effectively teach you Regular Expressions!
Recommended Prerequisites for:

• Any LinuxCBT Operating System Course (Classic/EL-4/SUSE/Debian Editions)
  • Open mind & determination to master Linux and related open-source applications
  • Basic understanding of networking concepts
  • Access to a Linux system to follow the exercises
