I have a string of the general form:

Name: Last,First Middle ID: GA88192


I am trying to extract the first name by invoking string.replace function, 
for example to extract the first name I invoke the following where 
'nameidstring' is the general form above:


 (clojure.string/replace nameidstring #"Name:\s(\w+){1},(\w+){1}" "$2")

Unfortunately, this gives me the First name along with ID: GA88192

since i specified a single word {1} in my regex above I don't understand 
why this is happening.  THank you for any advice
