I want to do with php exactly the opposite of what James Nine was asking in PHP: How to extract JSON strings out of a string dump.

That is to keep the json object(s) out from a large output from a wget request. I can't figure out what the regex should be, basically negate

~\{(?:[^{}]|(?R))*\}~

What would the desired output of an example be? – dnorhoj Apr 19 '22 at 18:41
If you have the match you can replace it with an empty string. Is that what you mean? – The fourth bird Apr 19 '22 at 18:51
Yes, I tried this, with a preg_replace, but not working, even with escaping the text. An example is the output of wget -q -O - https://edmo.seadatanet.org/report/4912 – Laurent Mortier Apr 19 '22 at 18:55
So your question is more like "How to remove json object from wget request result" ? – cyberbrain Apr 19 '22 at 20:43
I have found the right regex here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21994677/find-json-strings-in-a-string which solved my problem. – Laurent Mortier Apr 20 '22 at 19:51
