in reply to material for a talk about regexes

I'm not aware of a regex notation that is "language-agnostic" in a thorough-going way. Maybe the closest would be PCRE, but since that's (supposedly) Perl-compatible by definition, maybe you could just get a pre-Perl-version-5.10 copy of perlretut or perlrequick and base your introductory stuff on that.

Or else find a shamelessly ripped-off copy of Jeffrey Friedl's Mastering Regular Expressions book on-line somewhere and rip it off even further.
