Brian,

Regex's are not that hard, really.  What's missing from this problem is a
COMPREHENSIVE list of string patterns you are trying to match.  From there,
assume everything else is a non-match.  I'm sure we can come up with an
appropriate Regex given the collective brainpower of this group.  Then you
can spend time installing the UDF.
