Hi all,

I have a problem I just can not get solved.

Say I have a text like this:

My {dog|cat} is a pet, which is not {good|great|fantastic}. I always need to {feed it|give it food}. It drives {me|us|my family} {crazy|insane} {and|and also} eats {my|our} {newspaper|papers}.

I need to extract all strings that are in {...} to a seperate file.

So for this example I would get a file like this:

{dog|cat}
{good|great|fantastic}
{feed it|give it food}
{me|us|my family}
{crazy|insane}
{and|and also}
{my|our}
{newspaper|papers}


Has somebody an idea how I can achieve that?

This would help me a lot

Thank you very much!

There is a grep function that you can use.
