There's a good tutorial at: http://www.regular-expressions.info/

It takes you step by step through the basics and eventually moves on to
some advanced regex concepts. I also recommend the O'Reilly books
"Mastering Regular Expressions" by Friedl, and "Regular Expression
Pocket Reference" by Stubblebine. The latter is indespensible once you
start using regex.

In the end, don't forget this quote:

  "Some people, when confronted with a problem, think “I know, I'll use
regular expressions.” Now they have two problems."

Good luck.
