Re: Slightly Off Topic: Differences with Regular Expressions in other languages

If you're interested in the details of differences between the various engines for regular expressions, I really recommend Jeffrey Friedl's Mastering Regular Expressions. That other website also has other stuff I see and is not only centered about the book. I guess that on the Tools, Utilities and Programming Languages page there is a comparison somewhere.

Update: I fell for a slight variation in the URL - http://regex.info/, Jeffrey Friedl's site is about the book which I recommend, while http://regexp.info is some more generic regular expression site.

That site as well as the Sun page has some interesting information, but it's still fairly incomplete. According to regexp.info, Javascript only supports /gim modifiers, but there's no mention of most other features. What actually started this quest was me wondering if the \Q \E method of escaping was supported. I doubt it is, but it'd be nice to know for sure.	[reply]
