My Camel II certainly has an index entry for regular expressions.

I'm sure it has. My claim was about early prints of the third edition. Currently, I have 2 prints of the third edition.

From the index of the July 2000 print, page 1053, first column: 

reftype function, 317
regex (see patterns)
regexes (see patterns)
regexps (see patterns)
registry (Microsoft Windows), manipulating,
          398, 875
regular files, testing for, 28
re-initialization expressions, loops, 116
