Is there a way to make Sublime Text highlight (match) only part of a regex search pattern?
For example, I want to exclusively highlight Text when searching for Some(Text).
Use Sublime Text find to highlight a regex group in search pattern

You can use numbered sub groups. i.e:
Find:
([0-9]{6}),([0-9]{2})
Replace:
\1.\2
Example in Python:
import re
inp = '653433,78'
out = re.sub(r'([0-9]{6}),([0-9]{2})', r'\1.\2', inp)
print out
This would give you:
>>>'653433.78'
The trick is to start with an empty selection, with your cursor just to the left of the word you want to select. Then, hit Ctrl⌘G (or AltF3 on Windows/Linux) to select all instances of that word:
or hit ⌘D (CtrlD on Win/Lin) to begin selecting them one at a time.

Difficulty in getting a regex application to work will probably have a regex solution. In this case, lookarounds.
Example using a lookbehind:
