Seriously though, regular expressions are one of the most powerful aspects of the CF language imnsho. :)

I typically consider shorter solutions to problems more clever and often times more elegant too. Ken, brought up the dictionary definition of elegant and it mentioned "simple". If regular expressions are easy for one person to read because they're very comfortable with them and they think in regular expressions, then I'd agree that it's more simple. More elegant. For other folks (like me, unfortunately), who have to pull out the regular _expression_ pocket guide every time they run into all but the very simplest of regular expressions (and sometimes even the really simple ones), the slightly longer four or five line solution seems simpler, and therefore more elegant.
What about that? Agree? Disagree? :)
