Available in

JSSupported

JavaScript / ECMAScript

Browser-native RegExp. Default if you don't pick.

PYSupported

Python (re)

CPython stdlib `re`. Unicode-aware `\w` and `\d` by default.

GOSupported

Go (RE2)

Linear-time matching. No backreferences or lookarounds.

Pattern

regexengine-agnostic
\{([^{}]+)\}   (flags: g)

Raw source: \{([^{}]+)\}

How it works

\{ matches the literal opening brace. ([^{}]+) captures one or more characters that are NOT another brace — this avoids accidentally matching `{{` (the literal-brace escape in f-strings) and prevents nested-brace headaches. \} matches the closing brace.

Examples

f"Hello {name}, you are {age} years old"

Matches

  • {name}
  • {age}

Input

f"Total: {amount:.2f} USD"

Matches

  • {amount:.2f}

Input

f"escaped {{ not a placeholder }}"

No match
