I've never had much problem (time-wise) with regexps. I'm just stumped 
about the difference in execution of this one, and need a little help 
figuring out the syntax for the other part. In short, regexps are 
rarely a problem for me, and I don't know how I would solve my 
situation without using one, if you have any suggestions, please share 
:)
