grep & regular expression

[Nicola Di Marzo]

This is probably the best article (even if it is old) i found explaining
the very basic of grep & regular expression.
I like the simple but effective way the author explains the difference
between wildcard & regex, i didn't find it in couple of books i've read.

A particularly salient quotation from a Mozilla engineer, from a few years back -
Some people, when confronted with a problem, think “I know, I'll use regular expressions.” Now they have two problems.
