I've only used the basics of RegEx but it can be very useful not only for advanced search and replace, but also pattern matching of URLs, parsing text, scanning directories or files in a program, and lost more.
It is one of those functions that put many off by it's numerous escape characters in the syntax. So sometimes all that is needed to break the barrier to using it effectively, is a video that simplifies it a bit.
Chris also shows the use of Grant Skinner's open source online Regexr tool for learning, building and testing Regular Expressions.
