:) Ok, now that I better understand what you're asking, here's my regex solution. I think that this improves upon some other methods by starting with the longest and working down to the shortest, (quitting as soon as a match is found).
Ob-Update: This assumes the substrings don't overlap. And I've tinkered with the code to make it keep track of what the original substrings looked like. In so doing, I used the | character as a delimiter, which means it shouldn't appear in the original substrings. Thanks danger for the polite nudge. ;)
