I have a string in javascript. I need to pick all strings between "{" and "}".

Example:

QUO-{MM/YYYY}-{SERVICEGROUP}

Here i need to grab strings between {}.

    Okay. Once you've given it a try, if you get stuck, post a question showing what you've tried and asking why it isn't working. More: [*How do I ask a good question?*](/help/how-to-ask) – T.J. Crowder Oct 14 '15 at 12:47
  • try using regex.. something like this `{(.*)}` should do. – Sachin Oct 14 '15 at 12:52
  • can there be escaped `{` and `}` characters inside a `{}` group? Also, how robust do you want your parser to be (e.g. should it crash on `{SERVICEGROUP}}`, ignore the extra `}`, include it…)? – Touffy Oct 14 '15 at 12:55

Use regular expression /{(.*?)}/g: 

var re = new RegExp('{(.*?)}', 'g');
result = re.exec('QUO-{MM/YYYY}-{SERVICEGROUP}');

Will output: ["{MM/YYYY}", "MM/YYYY"]

Edit:

'QUO-{MM/YYYY}-{SERVICEGROUP}'.match(/{(.*?)}/g);

Will output: ["{MM/YYYY}", "{SERVICEGROUP}"]
