Regular Expression to find the cases

I have to find a set of Exception names from my events. Below are the sample text and its corresponding Regular expression which I am trying

Sample Text:
1. Caused by: javax.transaction.TransactionRolledbackException:
2. Caused by: com.gtnexus.database.exception.NoEntryAffectedException:

Expression used:
rex field=_raw "Caused by: (?P^.(.+?)):"

Expect Result:
"TransactionRolledbackException"
"NoEntryAffectedException"

With my above regex I am getting "javax.transaction.TransactionRolledbackException" but I need only the exception name as "TransactionRolledbackException"

Could you please help me on this

Based on nittala answer:

rex field=_raw "Caused\sby\:\s.+\.(?<ExceptionName>[^:]+):"

This takes in consideration also an error that doesn't end with "Exception" word

(?[A-Z].*:)

(?
Assigned ==>
Starting Char ==> [A-Z]
Followed by any no char ==> .*
End with : ==> :
)

you get results like below

Match 1
Status= TransactionRolledbackException:
Match 2
Status= NoEntryAffectedException:

Based on nittala answer:

rex field=_raw "Caused\sby\:\s.+\.(?<ExceptionName>[^:]+):"

This takes in consideration also an error that doesn't end with "Exception" word

Hello, give this a try:

Note: I am assuming that exception name is always preceded by period .

rex field=_raw "Caused\sby\:\s.+\.(?<ExceptionName>\w+Exception):"

Tested here.
