How do I capture multiple groups after an initial string match using a regex?

Test data:

TESTING: FIRST SECOND THIRD TESTING: TESTING: ANY NUMBER OF WHOLE WORDS flibble:

...should give the following:

I thought something like this might work:

TESTING:(\s(\w+))*

...but I'm unsure how to make those extra words capture repeatedly. My attempt above doesn't seem to work.

.net (C# or C++-cli) – Jon Cage Mar 15 '18 at 14:10
If in .NET, your regex already works. Access capture collection items. See [this demo](http://regexstorm.net/tester?p=ALARMS%3a%28%5cs%28%5cw%2b%29%29*&i=ALARMS%3a+FIRST+SECOND+). – Wiktor Stribiżew Mar 15 '18 at 14:12
@WiktorStribiżew - I think that example suggests (looking at the split list) that it captured the 'SECOND' string twice? – Jon Cage Mar 15 '18 at 14:38
@JonCage Table > $2 > 2 captures – Wiktor Stribiżew Mar 15 '18 at 15:00
Maybe I've missed something but the duplicate you've suggested doesn't appear to deal with having a bit up front that needs matching. – Jon Cage Mar 16 '18 at 12:33
