If you have a single CS bone in your body, you should be able to grok at least the basics of regex.

If you don't, then go back to designing* I guess, and ask for a programmers' help

* I only say this because I recently saw a tweet from a frontend designer person who said she thought regex was the worst technology ever invented and she absolutely hated it.

Disclaimer: For whatever reason, I'm a big fan. Concisely describe patterns in text and match on them? Plus the puzzle-fun of figuring out how to match on what you're looking for? Yes, please. (And yet, on certain programmer teams, I've had to scale back my regex usage because of you folks who refuse to just learn it, sigh)
