Regular expression to match multiple numbers in a sentence where said numbers are sometimes omitted
Given the sentences below, how do I match all numbers specified by "Run time", and optionally match just the "Run time" numbers instead of what's on the rest of the page (see example 3):
Example 1:
Run Time: 72 hours, 14 minutes, and 20 seconds
Example 2 (only two numbers, singular seconds):
Run Time: 28 minutes, and 1 second
Example 3 (only seconds but numbers further down not interested in them):
Run Time:
24 seconds
This notice is the result of a request from “cPanel Backup System”.
The system generated this notice on Thursday, July 28, 2022
The closest match so far but doesn't work:
/Run Time: (\d+) hour.+(\d+) minute.+(\d+) second/
That matches the 72, but only the 4 and 0 of 14 and 20.

Exclude the number and capture them
[^0-9]+(\d+)[^0-9]+(\d+)[^0-9]+(\d+)
