This is then followed by any number of other characters and then a hard return.
Breaking down the expression:
• [!^13] represents any character other than a paragraph break, so [!^13]@ says to find a sequence of such characters.
• ([0-9. ]@ kg) says to find & store any sequence of 0-9 and /or a period followed by ' kg'. The parens in the expression do not represent the parens in the text - they're the std wildcard expression for storing a string.
• there are no "spaces after the number of kgs"
• the *^13 after kg) says to find any number of characters after the 'kg' until a paragraph break is found.
