Another regex question with { , Curly braces

[paddy Mahadeva Iyer]

Hi,

I need to filter out regex from my string when ever i encounter for example
{0} or {1} so on to {100}.

I got regex like '\{\\d*\{ ' and '{[0-9]}'. But none are working. Please help. Kind of urgent.

There's kind of no such thing as "urgent" here.

What do you know about regular expressions? Is { a meta-character? How many \\ are you using to escape it? do you need \\ if you are in a String?

[Jeanne Boyarsky]

A tip on regular expressions: start smaller. Can you match the following in order?

{

a number from 0-100

}

the whole thing

Which one gives you trouble. What did you try for it?

[paddy Mahadeva Iyer]

Hi Campbell, Sorry for that 'urgent' comment. but was in a desperate situation then. Will be careful in future.

Hi jeanne, I will try that and get back.

Hi All, Actually I tried constructing the regular expression using the online expression generators. Some of the expressions that were working there was not when it came to the Java Pattern class. Don't know Why.

Will get back. Please do give me your suggestions.
