grep is an excellent place to start experimenting with "regular expressions".
After get some experience with grep, I suggest you look at awk (or perl, but
awk is easier to start with). A good awk book is "The Awk Programming Language"
by Aho, Kernighan and Ritchie, ISBN 0-2-1-07981-X (Addison-Wesley Publishing
Company). Another good book is the O'Reilly book, "Awk and Sed". If you
really get interested, you can look at sed and lex. One big difference between
grep and the other tools is that grep can find and display strings that match a
regular expression, but the other tools can also edit the strings that you find.
