Hello,
Regular expressions are rather difficult for a newbie.
I've found a tutorial which helped me:

yeah, regular expressions are big, for pattern recognition/manipulations of text, and the syntax is definitely from outer space!
note: regexps have been introduced in the official sun java package starting with version 1.4, i.e. it should work in the processing environment, but not always when exported to web (a majority of the people still have a 1.1 or 1.3 java virtual machine in their browser...)

for 1.1-compliant regexps, i recommend oromatcher's original version: http://www.savarese.org/oro/ (the more recent stuff is part of apache/jakarta).
i use this stuff in p5 since the ide used to have to be 1.1 compliant when we were supporting macos9. it's also a small download (see the oro.jar file in the lib folder of p5) that can be included w/ applets.
