In a marathon writing session, I went ahead and added a whole section on Regular Expressions. It needs to be proofed now, although I tested everything non-trivial:

Now I remember what makes these sections a bitch to write. Every tool implements regexes a little differently, and some things make no sense in grep or other simple tools.
I did a quick look at everything else and marked everything "complete" (except for Perl, whose author marked it incomplete, but I think it's actually ready to publish).
Of course, some sections weren't written or were kind of rough; I left them in the "unpublished" state.
I want to get away from this book now. I love it, but I need to focus on CiviCRM and other things. Besides tomorrow is the first seder.
