I had to force myself to take my time on this one and use RegEx. Every time I was tempted to use data cleansing or another short cut I forced myself to seek out a RegEx solution to make myself get more practice. I am getting better!!! I'm now excited about the possibilities that RegEx brings.

the way I did it , is similar to the solution posted by other community members, which is not the same as uploaded solution by the challenge master , I would like to know why the challenge master used a path that required union (nice solution by the way)
