Thats a lot of code when a couple of lines and a regex will do ;)

Maybe because the use of the regex is pointless here. A bazooka to

I couldn't agree more. Not to mention that they are probably slower.

Personal choice, and yes my testing has proven that a regex is faster then the multiple function calls or if conditions needed to accomplish the same
thing.
