change "[A-Z0-9]" to "[A-Z0-9]+". Also, your parentheses are still such that
you will be appending ""kalle"" to the entire string. You can
simplify the logic a bit since the first part of the match will not change.

This could be further clarrified by putting everything up to
"&#34;kalle&#34" into a property.

This is untested but should work.
