To learn more, a book I highly recommend is "Mastering Regular 
Expressions" by Jeffrey Friedl.. Although the examples are written in 
Perl (at least the first edition copy that I have), translating any of 
these to Ruby should prove to be trivial. The time you spend reading the 
book will save you many hours when you need to create, debug and/or 
optimize more complex expressions.
