Sadly you didn’t reply to our question. Anyway: I use the following to search for Text in curly braces:
\{(.*?)\}
I have to use \ before the braces, because they have a special meaning in regular expressions, this makes them searchable.
The round paranthesis ( ) result is the found text to be stored internally, so I can refer to it during replace.
.
I could use XX$1XX to replace {my text} with XXmy textXX (Actually I use the pattern to replace the style/formatting, but this is another topic.)
.
The ? is necessary, if I have several places in one paragraph to replace like in
{my text} some other text {my second text} wich would be found as
{my text} some other text {my second text} without the ?
.
Use this as starting point and if you only have straigt double quotes check, if there are consecutive pairs, as often in .csv-files. Treat this first then… and keep a backup of your original source.
