O'Reilly has published a book, "Mastering Regular Expressions", by
Jeffrey E. F. Friedl that is quite authoritative and comprehensive, but
you may find a better initial route is to try to digest what elements of
regular expressions you need from the particular application. For
example, many texts on Vim and Perl devote chapters to that topic, in
the context of the particular application
The topic is much more digestible when taken in small bites!
