Their ebook reader sucks. You have to go back to the index to advance between chapters. Bad UX, but that's for a reason.

There are five books - three of them on regex (Ruby, Python, JavaScript) and two on cli tools (GNU grep and ripgrep, GNU sed).

I'm currently learning some Data Science with Python (and text-wrangling via the CLI) and RegEx is something I got by without, up until now. So thank you so much!

Here you go: https://b-ok.cc/book/5260524/55d50b . Z-lib (above) and Libgen are usually my go-to if I'm not sure I want to (or can't) purchase a book.
