Field extraction - only 2 characters

I need to extract two characters to a new field. The query I have written is able to remove the first 6 characters and it retrieves from 7th character till the end. 

Data:

{ 
       typeIdentifier
       value1234567890ABCDEF

}

 

{\"type\":\"Identifier\",\"value\":\"(?:.{6})(?<idCode>.*?)\"}

 

The query returns "7890ABCDEF" whereas I need only "78". Could someone please help me to fix the issue?
