Question - your from doens't match your to in the final example - right? Good idea - as a general purpose tool such a concept could help condense patterns very efficiently. If you shared your source some other people might have improvements to make though (not me - I'm a reg ex whimp ;-)
Can appreciate the ease of effort though.
