That seemed to work. Although, I changed the code to get the '/' between the names. As well as making the first space neccessary. It was accepting 'and' when it was part of a person's name, like 'Gandalf'.
New code:
ships=> (&|and)(.*?)$=>/\3 (Friendship)
However, I was only able to test it once before I started getting an 'invalid group reference' for all the stories I had already.

While I was looking up the reference you gave me, the 'unmatched group' seemed to resolve itself. However, I am still getting the 'invalid group reference'. I tried looking it up and it looked like it might be a problem with '$' when not used as an end of string reference. As far as I know my code only uses the $ to indicate the end of the string I want. Is that the only reason I would get that error?
