Thanks Chrono

Agreed I have tried to simplify the description. I have reduced to a 6kyu and try to offer better examples of the input and output

I have added more tests. I have created some random tests and are now shuffling the full set of tests I have.

updated - added more regex and random testing

ok I have updated - let me know if its clearer. I haven;t created one of these for a while.
