    Hi guys, trying to extract data using regular expression. Need to get two backreferences, one for the attribute (e.g. "NAME"), one for the data (e.g. "blah blah blah").

    Using this expression: 
    :([A-Za-z0-9-_]+)\s+(.*?)\s*:

    It only extracts every second parameter, as if the overlapping : screws it up.

    Screenshot from regexr.com attached, any help appreciated. Thanks.

    I avoid ".*" as it tends to expand further than I intended.
    Try creating a more specific pattern to replace ".*"
