Question

I have the following JSON object:

{ 
  "fieldId": "id1", 
  "isVisibleInDetails": true, 
  "isVisibleInGrid": true, 
  "columnWidth": 142, 
}, 
{ 
  "fieldId": "id2", 
  "isVisibleInDetails": true, 
  "isVisibleInGrid": true, 
  "columnWidth": 100, 
}, 
{ 
  "fieldId": "id3", 
  "isVisibleInDetails": true, 
  "isVisibleInGrid": true, 
  "columnWidth": 159, 
}

I want to match the following:

{ 
  "fieldId": "id2", 
  "isVisibleInDetails": true, 
  "isVisibleInGrid": true, 
  "columnWidth": 100, 
}, 

I’ve tried using the regex (\{.*)id2(.*?)\}, but the match returns as:

{ 
  "fieldId": "id1", 
  "isVisibleInDetails": true, 
  "isVisibleInGrid": true, 
  "columnWidth": 142, 
}, 
{ 
  "fieldId": "id2", 
  "isVisibleInDetails": true, 
  "isVisibleInGrid": true, 
  "columnWidth": 100, 
}, 

Can anyone please correct my regex?

Answer 1

use this regular expression \{[^{]*id2[^}]*?\}
