   Jim,

   I will recommend again "The UNIX System" by Henry McGilton and 
   Rachel Morgan.  It has a simple clear discussion of regular 
   expressions with good examples.  It will defintely get you started.

   There is a book entitled "The Awk Programming Language" which is 
   fairly new, and is authored by Aho, Kernigan and Weinberger.  A
   large bookstore or computer oriented book store will have it.

   Also, I am interested in any answers you may get through E-mail,
   etc., so please do us all a favor and post a summary of
   recomendations you recieve.   Thanks!
