better try [^|] instead of . PV1\|1\|O\|([^|]*?\|){3}\| do you really need to capture field 2-5 ? Honestly this code hurts my eyes and horrifies my senses for maintenance ! Better consider something like putting your first regex in a while loop and analyzing the captured string within that loop. Friedl's book is a good read!
