Is there any book or learning resources for Rex except manual? Some examples, theory behind it?

Sorry, no books. The tutorial goes over it briefly:

Other than that it's mainly the manual and this message board.

Url?

Oops, wrong url the first time. Here's the right one.
http://www.thunderstone.com/texis/site/ ... vxrex.html

Thanks for answer mark. I am now more familiar with rex after searching through this message board(it is great!).
But topic about rex in manual is still not well covered.

Thanks for the input. Given the documentation below what specific or general topics do you feel are missing or could be improved upon?

This is just my opinion, but this page would be more useful with more examples

Also I think, maybe I'm wrong, that this regular expression '>>(=!)+)' from your example is not correct.

Yes, more examples are always good.

That expression is ok.

>>(= : look for an open paren then
!)+ : match anything but close paren then
) : match close paren

!)+ could also be coded as [^)]+
For single characters you can go either way. But for a string you need !, as in >><td>=!</td>+</td>

But that expression doesnt match text between parentheses.
It matches text with parentheses. Something like this would return text between parentheses '>>(\P=!)+'

Correct. Whether the parens are desired as part of the data varies.

To ensure that there is a matching paren but not include either paren in the data use

>>(\P=!)+\F)
