Description:

The aim of Practical Usage of Regular Expressions is to show that there are many practical uses of even simple regexes for tasks such as quality assurance (ensuring consistency), automating conversions, etc., in particular in conjunction with a translation tool, such as memoQ® or Trados Studio®. Although this book concentrates on a translation tool environment, the described basic language elements and examples apply to Microsoft® .NET®-based environments, and indeed, most regex engines.

Although concise, the book serves as a good basis for entry- and intermediate-level regex users by making the material available in an easily understandable form and with many illustrative examples; this makes it ideal both as tutorial and as reference for general applications.
