The always enjoyable Jeff Atwood wrote an excellent discussion about regular expressions that everyone should read. Having seen many times where a developer will write a full blown parser instead of a regular expression, it's critical every developer spend a little time learning regular expressions. It goes without saying that the more code you write the more bugs you have. Regular expressions aren't too hard, but like anything else us developers deal with, you do need to take the time to learn the basics so you can scale that learning curve.
