I'm using PHP5.

I think I have a solution but haven't had time to try it.  Using 
Preg_Match_All I can parse each piece of the expression and store them 
in an array.  Then I can just call the first and last array and get the 
two numbers I want.

Spent a few minutes last night reading over the php portion of the 
O'Reilly book on regexps.  ;-)
