That's what Google is for. And that's what every newbie in every sphere needs to do learn first: how to search successfully in Google and Wikipedia.

For instance some sites for regular expressions you can find:

http://www.regular-expressions.info/
http://www.rexv.org/ (Cough cough - this site is mine , the next extended beta is here: http://rexv.bundyo.org/)
