A great use case for getting your feet wet with Python. BTW: Powershell syntax wants me to gouge my eyes out. Anyone else feel the same way?
I guess I just do not have your enthusiasm. <BEG> I just look away. Yes, I think it is ugly.
+1. It's like the UberNerds who want to obfuscate just for the "fun" of it to be UberNerds. I felt similar about RegExp.
Regexes can be great, but I resist the temptation to make long regexes. That gets in write-only code all too fast. Instead, I might use a couple of shorter ones with a bit of glue code.

My view ... RegExp syntax is fairly limited in scope and relatively easy to learn. Powershell is a whole other beast.
I have used a fantastic tool to work with and develop RegExp for a few years now and the small investment has paid over time and again ..
