An FYI regarding a beta website that allows you to search
the 2.6
million lines of source code examples in nearly 700 books
published
by O'Reilly and Associates:
http://labs.oreilly.com
/code/
This can be a useful way to find simple techniques for
solving a
programming or scripting problem, or just to refresh your
memory
about how a language feature is used. And using this site
offers
more focused searches than using a general purpose Internet
search
engine, like Google, for the same purpose.
A great many programming, scripting, and regular
expressions
languages are covered by O'Reilly books; at a glance,
JavaScript, C#,
Perl, Python, Ruby, Java, awk, sed, and ASP are among them.

P.S. A caveat: as a beta, it's always possible this search
service
may not stick around for the long term, or may become a
for-fee
service.
