文档介绍：Mastering Regular Expressions, 1st Edition, by Jeffery Friedl
I saw my first example of this when I downloaded it three or four
years ago. I just glanced at it and noticed that it was chopped up, in that
each page was split into two pages—it spanned two PDF pages.
So a 340–350 page book wound up being 750 PDF pages.
You couldn't navigate from a page reference to another page, because the
page numbers obviously didn't coincide.
At the time I didn't give it much more thought, as I didn't do to much with
regex anyway.
From time to time I would see another post, so I would download it and
it has always been the same old version.
A short while back I did run across a need to know regex a little better so
I got out the version that I had and started to make some sense out of it.
The book appeared to be just what I needed but was just hard prehend
the way it was chopped up.
For my own use, I re-did the book to the extent, that each book page is now on
one PDF page. It was necessary to make the pages legal size () to do
this and maintain a typeface large enough to be easily visible.
The Table of Contents at the beginning of the book has been omitted here as
I have included a Table of Contents in this PDF document.
The Index at the back of the book remains as it was, due to the fact that there
was no easy way to re-do it without a major time investment. At least now
though, a page reference in the index can be navigated to using the Acrobat
page navigation tools.
I am uploading this for others to use and hope that it might be helpful.
Feel free to delete this page, but should you, at a later date decide to upload
it yourself, please indicate that it is a modified version, from the one that has
been around for years.
