notepad++ regex insert value inbetween pattern

I need a regex matcher to find the pattern for a list consisting of a bunch of records

all of which end with a comma.

I want to, at the first occurrence of the comma insert beginning and end h1 tags.

I tried using (.*),

Try using either (.*?), or ([^,]+),. The former is preferred, but Notepad++ may not support it.

You can use this regex:

^([^,]*),

This will locate the string before the first comma in a line. There is also capturing group that captures the text before the first comma for reference in replacement.

This should capture everything on a line up until and including the comma:

[^,]*?,
