Field Extraction

Need help to extract a field that comes after a certain word in a event. 

I am looking to extract a field called "sn_grp" with the value of "M2 Infra Ops". So for every event that has sn_grp:  i would like to extract the string that follows of "M2 Infra Ops". This string value will be the same name for every event.

Below is an example data set i am using to write the regex to 


\"sn_grp:M2 Infra Ops\"},{\"context\":\"CONTEXTLESS\",\"key\":\"Correspondence Routing Engine\

That seems to work however it is capturing the "\" in the string at the end. I want the value to stop after Ops in the string and not include the "\"
