regex between two special characters

Question

Is there a way to replicate this PHP snippet in JQuery or Javascript...

Answer 1

Regex are pretty much the same across all languages. If you want to get everything in between {} and put it into an array you can do this:

var arr = [];
var str = 'Lorem {ipsum dolor} sit {amet} conseteur {adipisci}';
str.replace(/{(.+?)}/g, function(a, b){ arr.push(b) });

console.log(arr); //=> ["ipsum dolor", "amet", "adipisci"]
