You're welcome. I'm usually rather eager to solve things with regex myself. So I usually think again: "will a regex make that code better?" and try it without the regex. In ~50% of the cases, I keep the regex. For the sake of having an example, I feel it's justified. For live code, I would have removed it.

I like your clear view on this. I agree that the regex is over kill when we are only checking two values.
