Re: about submatch in VIM

I have a couple of those books.  But I keep going back to my Programming Perl book (camel book).  It has a nice and succinct (~10 pages) explanation of regex. It's perlish, but close to many implementations including Boost's.

Boost's docs have a nice reference for the re syntax, but it wont teach you what they mean.

I will appreciate it if you recommend some books on such topic. 

 There are several books[1] and websites[2] regarding regular  expressions.  Popular books:  - "Mastering Regular Expressions" (published by O'Reilly) - "Regular Expression Cookbook" (published by O'Reilly) - "Regular Expression Pocket Reference" (published by O'Reilly)  Note that dialects & functionalities of regular expression vary  from engine-to-engine, so the underlying ideas remain the same,  but the implementations may differ superficially.  -tim   [1] http://www.google.com/search?q=regular+expression+books  [2] http://www.regular-expressions.info seems pretty decent as a starting-point
