Getting regexp practice

Hi biostars. I'm a newbee in bioinformatics and i realized that one of the main part of data analysis is using regexp on NGS datasets and other data manipulations.

I am not expert in awk for ex. also. Could you recommend some online courses or tutorials that can help me to get better in ngs data manipulating with regexp?

Appreciate any answers. Thanks a lot.

It's true regex are super-useful but keep in mind the joke: A programmer has a problem and thinks "I know, I'll use regular expressions". Now he has two problems.

(Sorry, I don't have any particular recommendation about tutorials other then the obvious Google search for regex+tutorial)

Perl is one of the best programming language (as of my experience ) for handling NGS data. If you can learn perl basics with Regex and basic Unix , of-course you can handle your NGS data.
