How to Extract Named Capture Groups Using a Single Line in Props.conf

Trying to extract named capture groups in a txt file, with the stipulation that it must be done from a single line in props.conf. The exercise is designed to teach how to assign many fields/values in a single line of RegEx.

There are around 20 or so fields we need to extract from the txt file (all the fields are outlined a single "event" in the text file along with the accompanying values in the next "event:). We are assuming that some form of EXTRACT will be used in props, but just not sure how to format in a single line. Any help or guidance would be much appreciated!
