Is there a less arcane way to perform searches similarly to regex?

    There's other, more verbose, regular expression languages, for instance SRFI-115 for Scheme. But the hard part isn't the syntax, but actually thinking about patterns, so it won't help you any.

    Just get the O'Reilly bat book and learn. So what if it overwrites 10% of your brain and you can't remember your mother's face, you'll have a useful skill.
