Erlang re docs

I’ve used regular expressions including Erlang regex off and on over the years—enough to get the job done but barely enough to claim competence. 

But I’m sorry— the documentation for re is total inside baseball. Can’t make heads nor tails.

Can someone please please suggest or write a tutorial with lots of examples for mortals who just want to get the job done?

Happy to collaborate but can only contribute my ignorance.

All the best,

LRP
