Help with capturing

Hi,

I am looking to to break a string into an indetifier along
with its
value. The identifiers always start with an asterisk, but
can be any
length (the real list of identifiers numbers 50+ in length).
Asterisks
are allowed in the value, as long as the are not part of a
known
identifier. Here is what I have so far I've come up with:

pattern:
(?<Identifier>(*CZ|*FUUU|*GH))(?<Value>[^*]+
)
Input: *CZ1 2.3 4*56 *FUUS24364 08 23 7A

Output:
IdentifierCZ
Value:1 2.3 4    <-Missing the *56

Identifier: *FUU
Value:S24364 08 23 7A

However, the pattern is dropping the *56 from identifier
*CZ's value.
How can I not have it do this?

The desired ouput is:
IdentifierCZ
Value:1 2.3 4*56

Identifier: *FUU
Value:S24364 08 23 7A

The each identifier's value may contain any number of
characters up to
the next identifier or the end of the string.

Thanks,
Ja
