bart,
I have found cases where no matter how good you made the RE, if there were a lot of things to match and the data to match on was also large - it was never faster than matching each piece individually. I offer this alternative - which uses your suggestions. In this very small example, I do not know if this method would be faster - but hey - it is nice to have in the tool box. Cheers - L~R Update: See this for an example of how to combine this method with a sub to make the process even faster if you have to reuse it.
