The best documentation I've ever found on Regexes is O'Reilly's
"Mastering Regular Expressions" (3rd ed is 2006, but REs haven't
changed since then).

Only problem is it is hella expensive. (Well another problem is it is
hella big: >500 pages.)
Apart from that, there are *tons* of tutorials on the net. Just google
up "regular expression tutorials" and you should see pages and pages
of them.
