Umm, isn't that exactly what he's done? Perhaps you mean it would be better if
the string to match came with the prefix already separated from the rest of the
string? That certainly would be better, if he has control over that end of
things. In the meantime, his data is not separated, so separating it will
require performing the match he asked for.
