@khanp27 If the values you're trying to pull from this string are exactly 3 characters followed by a comma and 4 digits, this expression will work for you: .*(.{3}\,\d{4}).*

 If not, I'd recommend checking out www.regex101.com so you can put in the actual values and find out what works best for you.
