Javascript regex - how to get text between curly brackets

Question

I need to get the text (if any) between curly brackets. I did find this other post but technically it wasn\'t answered correctly: Regular expression to extract text between

Answer 1

To extract all occurrences between curly braces, you can make something like this:

function getWordsBetweenCurlies(str) {
  var results = [], re = /{([^}]+)}/g, text;

  while(text = re.exec(str)) {
    results.push(text[1]);
  }
  return results;
}

getWordsBetweenCurlies("Some random {stuff} in this {sentence}");
// returns ["stuff", "sentence"]
