I have generated the following regular expression in a project I am working on, and it works fine, but out of professional curiosity I was wondering If it can be ‘compressed/shortened’:

  /[(]PRD[)].+;.+;.*;.+;.+;.*;.*;.*;/ 

Regexes have always seemed like voodoo to me…

    For starters, the single-character blocks can just go away:

    /\(PRD\).+;.+;.*;.+;.+;.*;.*;.*;/ 

    Next, you can group the related items together:

    /\(PRD\)(.+;){2}.*;(.+;){2}(.*;){3}/ 

    This actually makes it textually longer, though.
