I thought of doing something similar but thought that a regular

<SNICKER> Spot the famous quote!
Some people, when confronted with a problem, think
"I know, I'll use regular expressions." Now they have two problems.
Regexes sure get talked up, but they can easily turn into
write-only code. I have used them for simple expressions. Rather
than try to handle complex expressions with one regex, I use simple
regexes with some other processing and glue code.
Sincerely,
Gene Wirchenko
