Lot of people know about Regular Expression but do not use them when required. This is because it's more complex and time comsuming to write at begging. But when you mast the underlying comcepts, it's all done.
Here are some good links that you can use in day to day life of a programmer.

Wow, good links ! Java is also supporting Regular expression like you said. There is something called class Pattern :). I love to use that class, because thinking of reg. expression for even a simple thing is a tough job. One use which I thought to make from reg. expression is checking coding standards though it not 100 percent feasible but we are trying to make it as soon as possible:)
