Replace all values between two characters

[dreamer610]

Hi,
I'm looking for a way to replace all characters between two other characters in a string with some other value. So say I have

string = "adklfjadlkfdf{123}akldjfadklfjadklf{33333}kaldfjadkf{3}akdlfjad"

I would want to replace each set of characters in between each { and } with something else lets say "blah"

so my result would be

"adklfjadlkfdf{blah}akldjfadklfjadklf{blah}kaldfjadkf{blah}akdlfjad"

What would be the easiest way to do this? Thanks in advance and let me know if you need more information.

so the data to replace is always between "{}" ?

example...

<%
dim Str,RE
set RE=New RegExp

Str = "adklfjadlkfdf{123}akldjfadklfjadklf{33333}kaldfjadkf{3}akdlfjad"
    RE.global=true
    RE.pattern="\{\d*\}"
Str=RE.replace(Str,"{blah}")
%>

<%=Str%>

If you want to replace strings which are not just numbers, then try:

\{[^\}]*\}

for the regex pattern.
