Recently i was involved in an issue took a week to come to know the root cause. In the end its an eye opener to many who does not give importance to string functions and regex.
“Regular expressions and String functions are quite powerful in any language; however utmost importance should be given to such code.”

Regular Expression are one of the most amazing/powerful things I have ever come across in programming, BUT you have to test them thoroughly to ensure they are working correctly.

Also in the software development all the design and coding ideas changes with time. So, the code which is written 5 years back would have had some specific constraints in the coders mind.
