Answer 1

I came up with this:

\b\w*\s*\w*\(.*?\)\s*\{[\x21-\x7E\s]*\}

I tested it against a PHP function but it should work just the same, this is the snippet of code I used:

function getProfilePic($url)
 {
    if(@open_image($url) !== FALSE)
     {
        @imagepng($image, 'images/profiles/' . $_SESSION['id'] . '.png');
        @imagedestroy($image);
        return TRUE;
     }
    else 
     {
        return FALSE;
     }
 }
