Glad it helps.  A quick warning: it's written against the 2.9 regexp, and 
I've not tested it against the o-f version.

The given function doesn't have two options from matlab: ignorecase (I 
didn't see a way to do this with regexp, and I didn't want to have 
unintended consequences by just throwing both the string and the regexp to 
lower case) and preservecase (this option seemed more like a bug than a 
feature to me).
