Might I suggest using a simpler regex? It gives the ability to do better error
checking/reporting. Instead of adding all the misspellings for minute and
second, just capture those locations as words and analyze them outside the
regex. In fact you could capture the whole time segment and use a second regex
to pull out the data:
regex("(\d+\w+)", "g")
Then your regex isn't updated when you need to add hours and such.
I finished my function today. :) I did end up using shorter regexes
and embedded foreach loops in order to break the timecodes down.
However, the whole timecodes were found by a relatively large and
adaptive regex, which seems to be necessary. Thanks for the tip though.
It helped further down the line.
