Question

Hi I need to create a regular Expression that will match the following pattern:

{ any characters } in a string. Possible Examples of the string:

Example 1:

{123} abc {456} def {789}hg
should return 3 matches:

{123},{456} and {789}

Example 2:

abcd{{{r} 345 } {mmm}

should return 2 mathces {r} and {mmm}

So basically the expression should match { any chacraters any number of times that are not {} and then the closing }

So far I have come up with this but it’s not working :

{*[^{]}

Thanks very much in advance
