I suppose that since it groups from left to right, that's always group 1, so 
it keeps on getting assigned the new match, thus leaving me with only the 
last line...

if anybody cares, I kept most of the elegance and power of this solution 
while keeping it maintainable by doing this:

regex = r'-><-\n.+?\n' + 4 * r'(?:.+?:(.*)\n?)' + '$'
