A regular expression defines a string based on rules. Without seeing a lot more strings, we can't know what possibilities there are for each part of the string. You probably know your data better than we ever will, even eyeballing the entire set of strings; just write down, in order, what the pieces ought to be - for instance, the first token might be a literal @ sign, followed by three upper-case letters, then a hyphen, then any number of alphanumerics followed by a colon, etc. Once you have that, it's fairly straightforward to translate that into regex syntax.
