Chris,

If you do reconsider, and spend some time learning regular expressions, I
can recommend the Book "Mastering Regular Expression" by Jeffrey E. F.
Friedl (O'Reilly, ISBN: 1-56592-257-3).

It helped me a lot when I was starting out, and has proved a life saver in
many instances. When you see some of the cool stuff you can do with regular
expressions and log files, not to mention validation of user input and
automated, widescale tag changes, you'll become an instant convert. Honest.
