Notepad++ find and exclude a character

I have a CSV file with lines like this:

I tried the regexp (^Option,.+,.+[^;].+,,) to find lines above, but excluding the lines with ";" characters in third comma separate value. My regexp is not working, is not excluding the lines I don't want to find.

Instead of using the dot that is too permissive, use negated character classes like that:

(^Option,[^,]+,[^,;]+,,)

[^,] means all characters except ,

Note: the parenthesis are probably not useful.
