Mastering regular expressions by Jeffrey Friedl (http://books.google.com/books?q=editions%3AISBN0596528124) is the classic reference. Although it doesn't cover R explicitly, R does support perl compatible regular expressions which are discussed in the book. Regardless, most of the topics are general enough not to depend tightly on the specific regexp engine.
