Question
I already know the basics of RegEx but I'm not sure where to go from here, I'm looking for both a good and above all easy to understand guide but I am also looking for things to use RegEx's for, it's all well and good reading about it but if you never use them then they will not stick in your mind.
I have already found regular-expressions.info but I'm sure there are more.
Answer
As with everything, the best way to learn is by doing. Fire up the RegExr online tool and start hacking away.
The awesomeness of RegExr is that it parses your regex and presents in plain English what it is that each of your symbols and groups are doing. Just hover your mouse over parts of your regex in the editor.
Note: The previous version of this answer pointed to Regex Buddy. They no longer provide a trial version so I bailed in favor of RegExr. It's still an awesome tool -- just visit their site and check it out for yourself.
