A Max/MSP tutorial and reference patch that explains a few of the basic techniques you need to create regular expressions for string parsing and pattern matching using the [regexp] and [jit.str.regexp] objects. It contains working examples of the most important and widely used features of regular expressions so that you can explore and learn from them in the Max environment.
