I want to take the first comma seperated value from that string.

"Lines.No;StartPos=3;RightAligned;MaxLength =2"

I used "\b.*\;" regex to take "Lines.No". But the result is

"Lines.No;StartPos=3;RightAligned;"

thanks.

    First, anchor the search at the start of the string. Then use a lazy quantifier: ^\b.*?; or a negated character class: ^\b[^;];

    But careful: Could semicolons appear in your CSV fields (in quoted strings)? If so, regexes can still be made to work, but will be a lot more complicated – a CSV parser would be much better.
