Match up to x regex or y regex

I currently have this:

^(.+)\(\w+\)|^(.+)\s\(\d{3}\:\d{3}\s\-\s\d{3}\:\d{3}\)

# 1 it matches only Foo
# 2 Foo has what is correct
# 3 matches foo , but it is in the element of the 3rd array [2]:

3rd array output:
    (
        [0] => Foo (100:200 - 300:400)
        [1] => 
        [2] => Foo
    )


Bold is what I'm trying to match:
Foo (match11) this (100: 200 - 300: 400) end # 1
Foo has (not_matched) (100: 200 - 300: 400) end # 2
Foo (100: 200 - 300: 400) end # 3
note: im not trying to combine # 1, # 2, # 3 at the end of each line, this is just for reference.

"(100: 200 - 300: 400)", - , elseif "(not_matched) (100: 200 - 300: 400)", , "(100: 200 - 300: 400)"

elseif (not_matched) (100: 200 - 300: 400) " , 1 not_matched (100: 200-300: 400)

Checked triple in several versions.

<?php

    $string[] = "Foo (match11) this (100:200 - 300:400) ";
    $string[] = "Foo has (not_matched) (100:200 - 300:400) ";
    $string[] = "Foo (100:200 - 300:400) ";

    $reg = "~(.*)(\([^\)]*\))?\s\(\d{3}\:\d{3}\s\-\s\d{3}\:\d{3}\)~iU";

    foreach ( $string as $s ){
        preg_match_all ( $reg, $s, $m , PREG_SET_ORDER);

        print "<br />String: ". $s . "<br /><pre>";
        print_r ( $m );
        print "</pre><br />OR";
    print "The String Required is: " . $m[0][1] . "<br />";
    }

?>

It works, and you can get the desired line on

$output = $m[0][1];
