Re: regular expression help

Howdy, Regular expressions are a simple way of matching patters. You can learn more about regular expressions in general here: http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908799/xbd/re.html If you are interested in using regular expressions in PHP, check out these sites: http://www.php.net/manual/en/reference.pcre.pattern.syntax.php http://www.php.net/manual/en/reference.pcre.pattern.modifiers.php A regex to match what you are looking for would be /\{(.+?)\}/, and then just replace it without the { and } for the replace part.
