thanks @peter_krammer  for the response, but when appending to the search giving an error and also tried in the regex101.com which seems having an issue with grouping the structure,sorry if i missed anything

Error in 'rex' command: Encountered the following error while compiling the regex '(?://=(?[^:,]+))': Regex: unrecognized character after (? or (?-.
