Oh guess it would be even better and faster to only use:
/Last Name:([^\n]*)/
and trim() the result :-)

Yep, but to avoid his problem with empty Strings he should use something like:
/Last Name: *(.*?)\n/

This is behaviour because (.*) is greedy. As you noticed, it matched "Jason \nStreet:abc"
/Last Name:\s+(.*?)\n/
