Ok. But did you understand the regex? That's what people are missing out on. The learning aspect.

absolutely. I know regex, better than most devs I know personally.

I also don't use it all the time. I happened to have it up and just said, "hey fucker, give me the pcre regex to find all instances of these keywords in a string like this"

reviewed it, threw what I had into my code, ran my tests and everything was golden.
