I would recommend Mastering Regular Expressions for a gentle and accessible introduction to the topic. Seems like this is the primary thing you want.
Sublime also has multiple cursors. This lets you do certain things you would have done with regex interactively and without thinking, so that's another useful thing to know.
Apart from that, just familiarise yourself with all the buttons and toggles on the Find dialog and you should be good!
If you want to try a programming language, I'd recommend Python, as Sublime is very Python-friendly (just open the console and type expressions in, or try writing some simple plugins), and Python has great regex support, so is often used for slicing text up as well.
So here's quite a good resource to get started: https://github.com/ericelliott/essential-javascript-links
This is a very good book: http://eloquentjavascript.net/
I'd recommend playing about with nodejs. What can be done with modern Javascript, thanks in large part to node is really quite amazing. Unfortunately there is a bit of a learning curve, but you should start with just working towards understanding the language itself.
