Sorry, Sherry, I don't know enought about regular expressions to do this justice. Maybe you can find someone else to work on this and implement a plugin for you if you would like more than Julien offers. Plugins are written in C so the only overhead to using them is a very slight one for the one time load of the dll plus the overhead of making the call through the plugin. But this overhead would normally be much less than the time spent actually doing the re work, I would think. So I think it is simplest to stay with the plugin approach so that anyone can do it. Anyway, if performance is what you want, then PowerPro is likely not the right tool.
