RegEx with two separator and field extraction

Question

I'm trying to isolate the second field, comma-separated, in an already matched substring. My source string is something like this:

Info: 10.10.10.10 "TryingToIsolate" - [14/Mar/2016:15:44:00 +0100] "GET http://www.google.com" 200 12 £GG_sear,**44**,3,"-",-,-,-,1,"-",-,-,-,"-",1,-,"-","-",-,-,GG_sear,-,"-","-","Unknown","Unknown","-","-",234,0,-,"-","-",-,"-",-,-,"-","-"£ - "None-Default-None-Default-None"

I would like to get the value 44 within the £ symbols. I can get easily whatever is within the "££" by using \£(.*)\£, but whatever I try for taking out the second field it doesn't work properly.

what is your input string from which you are trying to extract ? also I cannot see <> in your example — dnit13

Apologies, I meant: "...and I would like to get the vaule 44 between the "£" characters. I can get easily whatever is within the "££" by using: \£(.*)\£ but whatever I try for taking out the second field it doesn't work properly. I apprecciate any help..." — MimmoFu

If you are sure it is going to be numeric only, then you can catch it with the regex

£\w+,(\d+),.*£

Here's a demo
