I'm confused about greediness.
This is the line that I'm trying to match:

Spurs 94, Suns 82

If the line is as above, I probably wouldn't use a
regex. The following is more verbose, but easier to manage IMHO.


Unfortunately, that's just the line for this text
file.  The next file will have different numbers, and
different teams.  That's why I was using a regex.

The code I posted is not dependent on the team names or numbers only the format (which is no different than the requirement on a regex). As long as the format is:


beg-of-line
one-or-more-spaces
team-1
one-or-more-spaces
score-1
0-or-more-spaces
comma
0-or-more-spaces
team-2
one-or-more-spaces
score-2
one-or-more-spaces
end-of-line
