Challenge #207: Parsing Video Game Data

This was a neat parsing challenge, gave me a chance to practice my RegEx. 

My solution using just 2 tools is attached (not counting the browse tool :))

Done.

I focused on working on this one using only my own knowledge of Regex and various tools, and less on trying to find the most efficient solution. That said, other than a few weaknesses in the Regex tools where it isn't necessarily future-proofed, I'm satisfied with this.

RegEx used for data parsing:
^(\d{7})(.*?)\s(\w{2,4})\s\((\d{4})\)\sCAT:(.*?)\sPUB:(.*?)\s\$(\S+)million,\s\$(\S+)million,\s\$(\S+)million,\s\$(\S+)million,\s\$(\S+)million$​

 Checking other solutions ... regex tokenize to columns for the $ columns is brilliant! Next time.

Used @johnemery 's video tutorial to help out with the RegEx syntax -- huge help and great practice!
