Actually, I did not work on your pattern, just assumed that since you were looking for an alternative then it should be because it was not working for the that specific URL. I really did not tried your code.

No, just strings (whatever they come from). What was the value of the field you were testing the pattern against? My code assumes there is always a match, but that can be taken care for.
