I've had to do this a few times because PHP's XML parser can't parse Microsoft Office MSXML. Works good enough for stuff like uploading a list of hotels and restaurants to a tourism website when the office manager only knows how to use Excel. And the PCRE code is a lot shorter and simpler than the equivalent XML parser code.
