The regex is better written as 

   /(?:,.*){24},/

(which also shows that the number in the description doesn't 
match the regex).  It might be more efficient to use something 
like this instead:

   /(?:[^,]+,){24}/

(excluding commas from the stretches between the commas means 
less backtracking when attempting to match).
