Match only numbers between the first and second comma in regex

Example strings:

John, a 005, green, 01-22-18.abc Sarah, 325, blue, 03-18-17.abc Mike, b 56, red, 12-05-17.abc

I would like regex to match 005 325 and 56 respectively. Could you show me how to accomplish it?

Thanks.

Depending on your regex engine you could use Positive Lookbehind and Positive Lookahead.

(?<=,\W|\s)\d+(?=,)

Explanation in order of execution:

  • \d+ Matches one or more digits

  • (?<=,\W|\s) preceded by a comma and a non-word character or a whitespace

  • (?=,) and is followed by a comma.

You can use this regex to match numbers that occur between first and second comma in each line:

^[^,]*,[^,0-9]*([0-9]+)

Numbers are available in capture group #1

RegEx Demo

Explanation:

  • ^[^,]*,: Match anything until first comma and then the comma at start
  • [^,0-9]*: Match 0 or more characters that are not comma or digits
  • ([0-9]+): Match 1 or more digits and capture it in group #1
