And, to add my .02 intergalactic creds:

I second the recommendation for Freidl's 'Mastering Regular
Expressions', avaliable from O'Reilly. While it focuses mostly on
Perl-style regexes (implemented in PHP's preg_...() functions; see
http://www.php.net/manual/ref.pcre.php), it also briefly covers the
POSIX-style expressions used in PHP's ereg_...() functions
(http://www.php.net/manual/ref.regex.php).

For other natural-language processing tools, check out the list at

or the 'Unix for Linguists' page at
