Well, in this particular instance, I am. However, there have been at least a few times in the past that I've wanted to achieve the same thing and it always ends up looking like comic book curse words. Also, I prefer to validate the input. This example would match even if the third column weren't digits (more specifically, digits in the range of 1 to 31).
