Match `${expression}` placeholders inside JavaScript template literals.

Pattern

\$\{([^{}]+)\}   (flags: g)

Python (re) code

pyPython
import re

pattern = re.compile(r"\$\{([^{}]+)\}")
input_text = "`Hello ${name}, you have ${count} items`"
for m in pattern.finditer(input_text):
    print(m.group(0))

Stdlib `re` module — no third-party dependency. Works on Python 3.6+.

How the pattern works

\$ matches the dollar sign. \{ matches the opening brace. ([^{}]+) captures one or more non-brace characters as the inner expression. \} matches the closing brace. The pattern won't handle nested braces (e.g. `${ {a:1}.a }`); for that you need a real parser, but this regex covers the common case.

Examples

Input

`Hello ${name}, you have ${count} items`

Matches

  • ${name}
  • ${count}

Input

const url = `https://api.com/${endpoint}?key=${apiKey}`

Matches

  • ${endpoint}
  • ${apiKey}

Input

no placeholders

No match
