Question

Let’s say I have the following three strings:

(section1){stuff could be any character, i want to grab it all}

(section1)(section2){stuff could be any character, i want to grab it all}

(section1)(section2)(section3){stuff could be any character, i want to grab it all}

So if applied regex to my expressions, for the first I would get:

section1

stuff could be any character, i want to grab it all

if applied regex to my expressions, for the second I would get:

section1

section2

stuff could be any character, i want to grab it all

and if applied regex to my expressions, for the third I would get:

section1

section2

section3

stuff could be any character, i want to grab it all

I have the following regex:

((?<section>.+))+{?<term>.+}

So look for inside parens and repeat and then what’s inside the curly brackets.
It doesn’t seem to work
Any clue? This has always been my Achille’s heel.

Answer 1

(?<section>\(.+?\))+?(?<term>\{.+\})

is probably closer to what you’re looking for.

This will match however many (sectionN) segments you have, along with the {term}
