The one that Mike gave didn't seem to do anything, John's will work if it
can match the beginning and the end successfully. I should probably explain
myself further.
Sometimes there won't be anything to replace at the front, and sometimes
nothing at the end. So it'd still need to do the front and/or end wether or
not they both exist.
Is there a way to tweak these to do that?
