I've found Regular Expressions and XPATH expressions in Identity Manager to be sometimes confusing, so I decided to start compiling ones that I've learned from people in the Forums like Father Ramon. Hopefully others will contribute here as well, and we will have a good base of examples to work from.

The Regular Expressions wiki page can be found here:
http://wiki.novell.com/index.php/Regular_Expression_Examples

and the XPATH one can be found here:
http://wiki.novell.com/index.php/XPATH_Examples

I've tried to keep everything in context so it isn't just an expression, but rather an application for the expression.

Please come and help by contributing.
