Use at your own risk, I take no responsibility.

            // Regexes
            Regex TotalXPRegex = new Regex(@"(\d+)");
            Regex CreatureRegex = new Regex(@".* = ""(.+)""");

            Regex ZoneRegex = new Regex(@".* = ""(.+)""");
            Regex LevelRegex = new Regex(@"(\d+)");
            Regex TimeStampRegex = new Regex(@".* = ""(.+)""");
            Regex QuestOrCreature = new Regex(@".* = ""(.+)""");
            Regex XPGainedRegex = new Regex(@"(\d+)");
            Regex EndOfIndividualGainRegex = new Regex(@"-- \[\d+\]");

            var records = new List<XPLogger> { };
            var record = new XPLogger();

            foreach (string line in lines)
