Close, but no cigar ;-) + is a quantifier meaning 1 or more matches of the preceeding expression, so you'll end up with all of the string up to , in $1 and nothing in $2. You'll have to escape it to match a literal '+'. I would also drop the ^ since it is unclear if the data is indeed without leading whitespace and/or quotes.
