Hi hasnainzeenwala,
Here's a pretty good list of resources for learning Regular Expressions: http://www.regular-expressions.info/books.html Speaking of Mastering Regular Expressions, * that is definitely a book you should have. Don't worry too much about the title. The book starts off really nicely and covers a lot of ground by the time you've finished the chapters on using Regexes in Perl. * The other thing I would recommend is to make sure your text editor gives you the ability to do search and replace with regular expressions. (If you look in your software's documentation it may say something like: "do search and replace with grep". That's Ok, that's what you want.) Use the text editor for EVERYTHING (emails, love letters, emailed love letters, etc.) You will quickly learn how often you can and will want to use regular expressions.
UPDATE May.26.2011: Added links to UNIX books.
