Some columns are blank, some show hostnames, some underscores, hyphens, etc. I use regex 101 to test all my regex and this regex is functional with every outcome I've seen so far on that website, which uses base PCRE. This translated into Powershell with only one change (escaping the -)

In my Powershell code I have named capture groups, which I cant use here (I dont think Perl 5.8.5 supports them)

The script itself is to parse the output (sometimes hundreds of lines) of a command which shows information about backups being run. In Powershell, it correctly parses the data, counts the number of Successful, Failed, Running, Partial backups based on the output of the "Status" column and the "State" column. It then shows this in a format our Monitoring tool (SolarWinds) understands, and displays a message about any failed backups, referencing some of the other columns.
