Regex to match string between 2 strings?

Hi,

I have below splunk command:

| makeresults
| eval _raw="The first value is 0.00 and The second value is 0\",\"origin\":\"rep\",\"source_instance\":\"0\""
| rex "The\sfirst\svalue\sis (?<from>.*) and\sThe\ssecond\svalue\sis (?<to>.*)"

 

This shows the "from" field as 0.00 and "to" field as 0","origin":"rep","source_instance":"0"

In the "to" field I only want the value 0. How do I achieve that?

Thanks for the link. I couldn't figure out how to match the 2nd value so I am looking if someone can help in fixing the regex
