Yes perl may have been a better choice for the projects sake, but alas the course was apparently a trial-by-~fire~segfault of C + string processing. Loved PCRE though... hmm I wonder if you could do it with just a regex...

I will be very surprised if you can write a working spreadsheet in a PCRE regex. Perl itself permits you to embed arbitrary Perl code in a "regex", though.
