Capture text between two known characters

Navigation
4

I need to get some text and find the words (or phrases) that are between two specific characters { and } , in this case.

>

I can do this by capturing the delimiters together, using the expression {(.*?)} , but I need the string to come without the two limit characters ( {} ).

I've tagged regex but I accept regex that does not use regex .

Solution in Regex:

  • With {} 

    Regex r = new Regex(@"\{[^\}]+?\}");
Match m = r.Match(text);

  • No {} : 

    Regex r = new Regex(@"(?<=\{)[^\}]+?(?=\})");
Match m = r.Match(text);

See .netFiddle

The expression: 

([a-z0-9])+(?=\})
