>You can do this with a regular expression... I tried the plain RE approach and found it no faster than my direct-coded version. Anyone have any ideas on how to code this problem elegantly without RE? My code is long and cumbersome - 200 lines! Speed is my primary concern but low LOC would be nice of course. The sezman approach above seems a bit complex.
