Sometimes regexes are needed, but often Jamie Zawinski is right:
Some people, when confronted with a problem, think "I know,
I'll use regular expressions." Now they have two problems.
Using the nuclear-powered bulldozer of regular expressions to crack the
peanut of a simple fixed-string matching problem is rarely a good idea.
