.net - C# Regex.Match curly brackets- contents only? (exclude braces) -


i've been unable find answer on this: can use regex.matches method return contents of items curly braces?

if use regex ({[^}]*}) matchcollection values includes braces. want match, return contents. here's have far:

regex regex = new regex(({[^}]*}), regexoptions.ignorecase); matchcollection matches = regex.matches("test {token1} {token 2}"); // results include braces (undesirable) var results = matches.cast<match>().select(m => m.value).distinct().tolist(); 

i liked explicit. can use "positive lookbehind" (?<=...) , "positive lookahead" (?=...) groups:

(?<=\{) [^}]* (?=\}) 

which means:

  • require opening curly bracket before match
  • collect text (of, course) - commented before may [^{}]* well
  • require closing curly bracket after match
