That sounds like a case for pattern matching, but I agree that if you
can't get that then[1] iteration would at least do the job.

[1] I say pattern matching rather than regexen because the Unix syntax
    for regular expressions is hideous and incomplete[2].

[2] It doesn't allow you to bind a name to a subpattern.
