RegEx Tutorial?

[Siddarth Chandrasekaran]

I looked through the archives, but couldn't find a comprehensive
tutorial on regular expressions -- could someone please point me to
one?

Specifically, I'm looking to extract all the words from a string that
are capitalized, but can't find case-based match operators.

Thanks,

Siddarth

To test regular expressions (and with a handy little regex reference at the=
bottom)=2C use rubular: http://rubular.com/
And for your particular issue=2C try this:
str =3D "this Is Some test String eh?" cap_words =3D str.scan(/[A-Z]\w+/=
)

Sounds like you are using the proposed regex. Why don't you go to the given
site (rubular), put in "javaVariable", and see if it gives you what you
expect.

If not, here is a decent explanation of the different things you could do to
match. http://www.zenspider.com/Languages/Ruby/QuickRef.html#11

Nope, I edited the regex to account for spaces.

Not exactly a tutorial but a very comprehensive book on the matter is
"Mastering regular expressions".

Kind regards
