Try something like: "^([\w+]) ([\w+]) (.+)$"

Try something like: "^([\w+]) ([\w+]) (.+)$"

I think you need to escape the square brackets, otherwise they're
interpreted as a character set.

If Group 1 and Group 2 are consistently between square brackets,
something more like this should work:

"^(\[.+\])\s*(\[.+\])\s*(\w.+)$"

Yes, of course. My oversight.

Yes, that's a bit more flexible. Except perhaps the \w in the third
group. That means that the first character has to be one of A-Za-z_0-9.

"^(\[.+\])\s*(\[.+\])\s*(.+)$"
