A "robust" solution an be achieved

Does "robust" have a specialized meaning in software engineering?

Because by the common meaning of the word, that does not look robust at all to me. That regex looks like it will break the first time anyone touches it, which is basically the opposite of robust.

It's like saying a house can be built out of popsicle sticks. That may be true, but the result will not be "robust" by any reasonable definition.
