This is my partially string

\*\*\* HOLE CARDS \*\*\*  
gogo1978: calls $0.15  
istackdoe: checks  
\*\*\* FLOP \*\*\* [5d Qd 2c]  
istackdoe: checks  
gogo1978: checks  
\*\*\* TURN \*\*\* [5d Qd 2c] [Ah]  
istackdoe: checks  
gogo1978: checks  
\*\*\* RIVER \*\*\* [5d Qd 2c Ah] [6s]  
istackdoe: checks  
gogo1978: checks  
\*\*\* SHOW DOWN \*\*\*  
istackdoe: shows [9h 2h] (a pair of Deuces)  
gogo1978: mucks hand

I need output

\*\*\* HOLE CARDS \*\*\*  
Call gogo1978, $0.15  
Check istackdoe:  
\*\*\* FLOP \*\*\* [5d Qd 2c]  
Check istackdoe:  
Check gogo1978:  
\*\*\* TURN \*\*\* [5d Qd 2c] [Ah]  
Check istackdoe:  
Check gogo1978:  
\*\*\* RIVER \*\*\* [5d Qd 2c Ah] [6s]  
Check istackdoe:  
Check gogo1978:  
\*\*\* SHOW DOWN \*\*\*  
Show istackdoe: [9h 2h] (a pair of Deuces)  
gogo1978: mucks hand

There is possibility that istackdoe and gogo1978 not be fixed everytime  
means it will be different name in another string

Thanks…
