Regexp?  Try substring matching.  Globbing if you're lucky.  The kind of
people who by this stuff are not the kind of people who will pick nits about
how it's done.  Therefore, it is always implemented quick-and-dirty style,
just good enough to generate sales.  More effort is put into the PPT
presentation than into the actual code.
