For me, regex can be simple or complex.
It depends on the task at hand.
The more complex the task, the more complex the regex.
My boss who can code, but doesn't want to, *HATES* regex.
Personally, I think it is pretty powerful and I'm grateful for its
flexibility.
I use it daily in my job where s

Regex is a programming language in its own right. Why should an
average user have any knowledge of it?

First question which comes to mind is - do you really need to call

The lookup hash is like this
%clean=(
HeatingEngineer => (?:Heating.*?Engineer)\b.*?
HGV
Driver=>(?=\A(?:(?!tech|mech).)*$)(?:HGV|LGV|Class.?1|Class.?2).?(?:1|2|3|)(?:.+Driver|).*?

matches
So I loop through the text and then loop the regex hash against each r
