No, why would you want to find anything that's a number, parse it, and
add one to it. It doesn't seem like a particularly useful example. I'm
sure the same techniques could be used to do something more useful, but
I can't think of an example.
Anyway, I forget how we even got started on this topic, but this debate
has gone on long enough to make a few things clear. It seems that
low-level text munging is useful for the kind of stuff you do, and not
especially useful for the kind of stuff I do. Let's leave it at that.
