I have the following test to parse via regex

{id=ID, catalogId=A2A01, marketingCode=CODE, productId=PRODUCT_ID, sku=SKUINFO}

I am using the following Regex pattern

(?<=marketingCode=)(.*)(?=, )

However is matching

CODE, productId=PRODUCT_ID

How do I make it just match

CODE

`.*` **is** greedy. It's not non-greedy as you mentioned. Change it to `.*?`. – 41686d6564 stands w. Palestine Aug 02 '18 at 14:56
It's not non-greedy. Change `(?<=marketingCode=)(.*)(?=, )` to `(?<=marketingCode=)(.*?)(?=, )`. – marekful Aug 02 '18 at 14:56
You can use: `(?<=marketingCode=)([^,]*)(?=,)` See this demo: https://regex101.com/r/kPs5DK/1 – anubhava Aug 02 '18 at 14:57
