Help with Regex to parse dlg template controls

I hope this is the appropriate group for this question--the regex
group didn't look too appealing.

I am trying to build a regex to parse out dialog controls from C++ RC
files. Suppose the input text is:

IDD_ADDPRINTDLG DIALOGEX 0, 0, 284, 87
STYLE DS_SETFONT | DS_MODALFRAME | WS_POPUP
FONT 8, "MS Sans Serif", 0, 0, 0x0
BEGIN
CONTROL "Color",IDC_COLOR,"Button",BS_AUTORADIOBUTTON,
11,68,33,14
CONTROL "Grayscale ""Quoted Text
""",IDC_GRAYSCALE,"Button",BS_AUTORADIOBUTTON,50,68,47,14
CONTROL "Faxable
Image",IDC_FAX,"Button",BS_AUTORADIOBUTTON,103,68,59,14
GROUPBOX "Printing Options",IDC_PDOPTIONS,8,59,271,26
GROUPBOX "Footer Text",IDC_FOOTERBOX,8,4,272,51
EDITTEXT IDC_FOOTER,13,13,262,40,ES_MULTILINE |
ES_WANTRETURN
END

If I use the regex (EDITTEXT|CONTROL|GROUPBOX|LTEXT|PUSHBUTTON|
DEFPUSHBUTTON)\s+("(?<ControlText>.*?)",\s*)?(?<Identifier>\w+),[\v\f
\S]+\n

it finds everything except the EDITTEXT line, which doesn't have the
optional ControlText field. I've stared at this for a few hours now
trying to figure why it can't find it. Any ideas?

Thank you.

As usual, talking about it helped me figure it out on my own. The
problem was with the spaces around the pipe in the EDITTEXT line...
