I try to avoid regexps due to their lower performance

[ephemient]

compared to what? depends on the regex and engine, but they can definitely be faster than code you would reasonably write by hand

[ephemient]

backtracking can kill performance, you just have to know how about it

mmm next one I'll do with regexp then, just to put them more in my workflow
