231,268 PointsA comma and space should be recognized as separating the names, but the comma should not be included as part of the last name.
The first name will possibly contain word characters and spaces, so the match should use a character class that accepts both of these ("[\s\w]" in brackets).
And while the challenge won't look at your group names, it's the last name that will be first in the string.
