Rex how to return static text instead of unmatched field?

giovere
Path Finder

I'm trying to apply a regular expression on input, if regex is not matched I'd like to return a static text as a field value (NULL for example). Splunk 4.3.7.

My current query looks like this, but this would return anything only if all rexes are matched, in example below just first line would work.
Any suggestions how can I get it working?

... | rex "Name=(?.+?);" | rex "Age=?(?.+?);" | rex "Weight=?(?.+?);"

Input:

Some random text; Name=Ruby; Age=18; yada yada; Weight=50

Some random text; Name=Bon; Age=19;

Some random text; Age=18; yada yada; Weight=52

Desired output

Name,Age,Weight

Ruby,18,50

Bon,19,NULL

NULL,18,52
