Create Regex to read line

I am trying to create regex to read the following statement

Finding all possible schedules that could run at Thu Jul 02 09:30:00 EST 2015 on monitor AAA-AAA_NameOf Place.

Done So far::

 string name = @"^Finding all possible schedules that could run 
                ?<Listname>(\w{3}\-\w{3}\_)+"; //got kinda lost here 
 Regex reg = new Regex(name);

What do I want?

I want to get this AAA-AAA_NameOf Place as an output and assign it in an list. As well as the date in the statement can be different every time.

Here's a Regex that looks for a character at the beginning of a word boundary that is repeated three times then followed by a dash, then that same character repeated three more times followed by an underscore, then followed by any number of characters after that at the end of the string:

        string input = "Finding all possible schedules that could run at Thu Jul 02 09:30:00 EST 2015 on monitor AAA-AAA_NameOf Place";
        string pattern = @"\b(.)\1\1-\1\1\1_.+\Z";
        Match m = Regex.Match(input, pattern);
        if (m.Success)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(m.Value);
        }

You can try this regex:

(.+? at )(?<Date>.+?)( on monitor )(?<NameOfPlace>.+)

It will product two named groups: Date and NameOfPlace.

Please note that it assumes the exactly same format.

Once you get the Date and NameOfPlace, you can assign them to List.

Here you are:

var data = "Finding all possible schedules that could run at Thu Jul 02 09:30:00 EST 2015 on monitor AAA-AAA_NameOf Place";
string namePattern = @"(?<=monitor\s).*$";
Console.WriteLine(Regex.Match(data, namePattern).Value);
