I am new to UNIX programming and had the following problem with UNIX vi editor.
Can you please tell me the UNIX command required to delete text delimited by { and } where both characters occur after the current cursor position. Thanks.

If you’re on the same line :
f{ moves you to the next { character
d% deletes everything to the matching bracket
If you’re on a different line, use /{ to search for that character
And if you want to delete ALL text delimited like this :
(replaces all instances of anything between brackets with nothing)
