regex to add a variable to calls

As I move to multiple open debtors, I'm having small but consistent and
numerous changes.
I need to catch every instance of
getVal(a,b,c)
and change them to
getVal(a,b,c,dbtr)
(and similarly to find when called with one or two arguments)
a can actually be a combination of letters and numbers (a variable
name)--but might be an expression to produce this.
b should only be empty or "D", "T", and one other like that, and c will be
a variable that evaluates to a number.
dbtr is the variable name I want to pass.
Even catching most, and inspecting before tapping replace, would be a huge
timesaver.
I don't remember enough regexes to make this work with the parens.
I'm thinking a search term of
getVal\(([a-z1-9A-Z]+,[a-z1-9A-Z]+,[a-z1-9A-Z]+)\)
and
getVal($1,dbtr)
as replace, but this isn't right.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
