Hi kavyamohan,
you can use regex101 to test your regexes and this is the most important site to use!
.
About a tutorial, you can search on Internet using Google, anyway I used this https://www.regular-expressions.info/

If you want a quick reference guide (very quick for regexes but there are many information also on Splunk), you can use https://www.splunk.com/pdfs/solution-guides/splunk-quick-reference-guide.pdf .

Ciao.
Giuseppe
