Well, it gets easier as you get more familiar with it.
There is both a lengthy tutorial and a Quick Start guide:
http://www.regular-expressions.info/quickstart.html
The Quick Start gives you simple basics with "Learn more about ____" links to the exhaustive guide sections. It is very easy to go back and forth as needed.
My favorite aspect of the guide is the breakdown of what the regex engine is doing to figure out the match. A little involved, but it helped me get clear in my head the rules of precedence for various things.
Good luck!
