We use regular expressions exactly because they can be used to match many different strings. For example, your previous example can be reduced several ways. Here's one:
Code:
## replace pairings with het or slash as you prefer.
add_to_replace_metadata:
pairing=>Arthur[/,&]Merlin=>slash
pairing=>Merlin[/,&]Arthur=>slash
pairing=>John( Watson)?/Sherlock( Holmes)?=>slash
[/,&] will match any one of ' /' ' ,' or ' &'.
( Watson)? groups ' Watson' and the ? indicates it can be present or absent.
Regular expressions are very powerful, but complex. If you want to get the best benefit, you should read up on them a bit. Search for something like:

You are again very fast and very helpful
And yes, I will try to learn more about regular expressions. I like to understand the stuff I do, if possible.
