Hi, sorry for not getting back to the thread earlier. Yes indeed this
could be done with two conditions on a string match.

It was simply the regex challenge! I have a perl project coming up
really soon in which I think I'll be needing to do a lot of regex
work, so just wanted to get some practice in.

Thanks for the replies everyone!
