If you have a problem and you think that regular expressions are the
solution then now you have two problems. Regex is really overkill for
the OP's problem and it certainly doesn't improve readability.
It depends on the reader ability to understand a *simple* regexp.
It is also strange to get such answer after taking so much precautions,
so let me quote myself:
"Using regexp *may* increase readability (*if* you are *familiar* with it)."
I honestly find it quite readable in the sample code I provided and
spares all the if-len-startwith-strip logic, but If the OP does not
agree, fine with me. But there's no need to get certain that I'm
completly wrong.
