Extract values from a string using regex

Question

String - try the Club for 1 Dollar

I am trying to get 3 values from the string :

quantity - try the

metal - Club

value - Dollar

but I am getting lub for metal. Regex I tried :

(?<quantity>[\s\S]*?)[A-Z](?<metal>[\S]*?)\sfor\s(?<value>[\d]+?)\sDollar

I am not able to correct the regex. Can anybody help me with this?

Thanks for the edit...I am not sure what flavor means..I am using it in C# if that helps — Gunmeet Singh

This [A-Z] is matching C. Change it to (?=[A-Z])

(?<quantity>[\s\S]*?)(?=[A-Z])(?<metal>[\S]*?)\sfor\s(?<value>[\d]+?)\sDollar

Output:

 **  Grp 0            -  ( pos 0 , len 25 ) 
try the Club for 1 Dollar  
 **  Grp 1 [quantity] -  ( pos 0 , len 8 ) 
try the   
 **  Grp 2 [metal]    -  ( pos 8 , len 4 ) 
Club  
 **  Grp 3 [value]    -  ( pos 17 , len 1 )
