I think you want:

/^\d,[\w\s]+,\d\d:\d\d:\d\d$/

That will validate for:
15,Some product description,12:10:06

Hi Jadhav,

You better use this pattern:

/^\d+,\w[\s\w]*,((?:0?[0-9]|1[0-9]|2[0-3]):[0-5][0-9]:[0-5][0-9])$/

It will correctly validate the string:

15,Some product description,12:10:06

For validation purposes you don’t have to define any capturing groups.
If you want to extract the quantity, description and time then use the
pattern:

/^(\d+),(\w[\s\w]*),(((?:0?[0-9]|1[0-9]|2[0-3]):[0-5][0-9]:[0-5][0-9]))$/

Best regards,
