If you don't know what a thing does and you don't have the time to learn it, sure. A few years ago when I was making my first applications I "used" regex's off of stack overflow long before I was able to take the time to learn the syntax myself. At the time it was much more important for me to learn design and compilation than it was to go off and learn regex.
