I had a research project once that looked at hundreds of geodetic surveying app outputs, snagged them, parsed them and then I subjected the flat files to Excel for light-weight statistical analysis. I think I spent more time getting the regexes correct , by a factor of easily 24, than on generating the data once the raw surveying data were collected and uploaded. I must have "fixed" regexes on an hourly basis before rerunning the job. From start to failure. Again.
