e.g. with Charlie’s regexp, an A28 may parse more quickly than the expanded form, but if you don’t receive many A28’s it’s not of much value.
I prefer the expanded form, simply for readability. At a glance, I can see if an A17 is handled by this route…. With Charlie’s I must interpret the entire regexp to ensure that it’s not being used. (Not that it’s difficult to interpret, but .. my goal is usually to determine the Xlate that I need to review, not an exercise in regexp interpretation.)
In the end .. either is fine and will get the job done … it’s a matter of personal preference.
Ultimately, I prefer the first regexp which was intended to route everything but an A17 .. but that did not work in the engine’s regexp..
