(unsolvable?) problem with StringRegExp flag 3, trying to match repeated capture groups

[Imbuter2000]

$text = "abcdef header bad 32 bad 24 good 76 bad 43 bad 21 good 98 bad 
51 good 35"

Using a regular expression (because real world use is much more complex than this example) I want to extract an array of all the numbers just after a "good" word, only if the word "header" is found before the first match.

I tried this (failing) solution:

$array_of_results = StringRegExp($text,"header.*(?:good ([0-9]+) .*)+", 3)

but it only extracts the last match.

Then I tested this other (uncompleted therefore failing) solution:

$array_of_results = StringRegExp($text,"(?:good ([0-9]+) .*)+", 3)

but as you see it doesn't verify the "header"...

Does a working solution exist?

$array_of_results = StringRegExp($text,"(?:good ([0-9]+))", 3)

Don't over complicate 

$res = StringRegExp(StringRegExpReplace($text, '.*?header', ""), '(?:good\s*(\d+))', 3)

"(?i)(?<=header).*?(?:goods*(d+).*?)+"

Edit:

I think I misunderstood you, I thought you only wanted the first good after the header.

I think mikell is on the right track, the code is close, but doesn't make sure you're only pulling if header exists.

$s_tmptext = StringRegExpReplace($text, '^(.*?)(header.*?)\z', "$2")
; with extended, we know we are only pulling from good after a header match
If @extended Then
    $array_of_results = StringRegExp($s_tmptext, '(?:good\s*(\d+))', 3)
    _ArrayDisplay($array_of_results)
EndIf

Considering how the regex engine works, the right way should NOT be using a positive lookbehind but a negative lookahead

And this one works even if 'header' doesn't exist 

#Include <Array.au3>

$text = "abcdef good 01 bad 01 good 02 header bad 32 bad 24 bad 43 good 76 bad 21 good 98 bad 51 good 35"

$res = StringRegExp($text, "(?:good\s*(\d+)(?!.*?header))", 3)

 _ArrayDisplay($res)

Yeah, well... I blame it on a 2 year break .

Thanks Smoke, your solution is the only one that works.

I just modified the parameters of the first StringRegExpReplace with these:

'A.*?(header.*)z', "$1")
