QRegExp not matching the { character !!

[gontham]

Hello,

I am trying to match a string within {STRING}.

i tried using the following code:

QRegExp exp("\{.*\}");

QRegExp exp("\{.*\}");

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

and i even tried it for a specific word that i know exists, like:

QRegExp exp("\{file\}");

QRegExp exp("\{file\}");

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

and i also tried:

QRegExp exp("\\{file\\}");

QRegExp exp("\\{file\\}");

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

non of these worked, any ideas on how to do this ?
