No, cause "John\nDoe" messes up my regex. Sorry, out of the question. I'm not good with regex.

they likely aren't good regex's ;P ... anything with more than, say, 6 operators is probably missing an edge case or will be outdated in a year (and then it's impossible to determine its original intention)
