I have character strings like

str1 <- "Hello {can you please} {extract this}"

I need to extract "can you please" and "extract" this as a list with regex.

How can I do it?

Try `str_extract_all(str1, "(?<=[{])[^}]+")` – akrun May 26 '18 at 05:10
Hi. Yes, you can. However, you are expected to try to write the code yourself. Then give a clear explanation of what isn't working and provide a [Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable example](http://stackoverflow.com/help/mcve). Read [How to Ask](http://stackoverflow.com/help/how-to-ask) a good question.
