Re: regexps

The regexp package (java.util.regex) in Java is pretty close to the
standard. There are books that go into great depth, and I recommend
"Mastering Regular Expressions" by Jeffrey Friedl. A good Perl book will
also discuss regular expressions, so that would be another place to
look.

Given the generally thorough coverage by other publications, I have kept
the information in JSwat to a minimum. Fortunately, if you don't know
regular expressions, you don't have to in order to use the jswat
commands.
