There certainly is none! And it's not a matter of programming language -
it's a matter of AI and maybe neural networks ;-)

I think any regex will be fine. You can try doing some more analysis when
you have multiple consistent data (i.e. look through a file and try to find
out what their "system" could be).
This will break however when the data is not generated by a programm but
input by a human (with changing attitudes and typos now and than...)
