Grep and Regular Expressions

[Tony Abou-Assaleh]

I would like thank TLUG for giving me the opportunity to speak on Tuesday
(March 14). I don't recall enjoying giving a talk as much as I did on
Tuesday. The audience was just fantastic - a lot of very good questions,
and a lot of very good answers. The best audience ever!

It was the first time I attended a TLUG meeting and I loved it. I
encourage everyone try to attend these meetings. There are so many
knowledgeable and interesting people, much to be learned, and a good
company.

Below are some links that are relevant to the talk for those who wish to
pursue the subject further. The slides are posted on my grep page. I would
welcome any question or comments regarding grep and regular expressions
(and every thing else too, of course).
