It's not specific to R, which wraps regular expressions up in quoted strings so has a couple of wrinkles compared to Perl, but I found the O'Reilly " Regular Expression Pocket Reference" a good quick reference, and rather cheaper than the whole book. It's hard to see R users needing chapter and verse on the complete gamut of regexps.
