NSRegularExpression enumerateMatchesInString: options: range: usingBlock: gives a null result?

I use a regex in the parser, however it seems to give one result, this is my code: Regex:

self.seatSelectRegex = [NSRegularExpression regularExpressionWithPattern:@"Seat ([0-9]{1,2}): (.*) \\([$£€]?([0-9.]+) in chips\\).*$" options:NSRegularExpressionAnchorsMatchLines error:&error];

the code:

NSMutableDictionary *players = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
[self.seatSelectRegex enumerateMatchesInString:input options:NSMatchingCompleted range:NSMakeRange(0, input.length) usingBlock:
 ^(NSTextCheckingResult *result, NSMatchingFlags flags, BOOL *stop) 
{

    NSLog(@"%lu", result.range.length);
    Player *p = [[Player alloc] init];

    p.name = [input substringWithRange:[result rangeAtIndex:2]];
    p.seatNumber = [input substringWithRange:[result rangeAtIndex:1]].intValue;
    p.stack = [input substringWithRange:[result rangeAtIndex:3]].doubleValue;

    [players setValue:p forKey:p.name];
}];

I expect 3 results with my input, however, I get 4 where the last result has a range with location = 0 and length = 0 (the first three are correct). Is this normal behavior and should I just check the location and length of the range, or is there an error somewhere?

For what it's worth, this is my input:

This is because you are using option NSMatchingReportCompletionc enumerateMatchesInString:options:range:usingBlock:. From the apple documentation :

NSMatchingReportCompletion, Block , nil NSMatchingCompleted , , "NSMatchingFlags" NSMatchingHitEnd, NSMatchingRequiredEnd NSMatchingInternalError.

, , 0, , nil, nil ( 0).
