I've been trying and trying and can't seem to figure this out. I've read a bunch of regex posts and am lost.

Here's example mud output:

Chrysoberyl - Catspaws: Catseye(T) Hairball(B) Litterbox(A)
or
Wow - Hammac: Whoo(A)
or
Yarl - Frazzle: Mermoon(A) Mersun(I)

So here's what I've come up with:

^(?systemname:\w+) - (?ownername:\w+):( (?planetname:\w+)\((?planettype:\a)\))+

I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing wrong. Can anyone try to help me? Thanks a million

You may find this topic helpful, since it seems to be matching exactly the same text.

The trouble with using + in this way is which of the planets is going to end up in the variable, when there's more than one of them.
