i am new to regex. I am trying to parse all contents inside curly brackets in a string. I looked up this post as a reference and did exactly as one of the answers suggest, however the result is unexpected.

Here is what i did

var abc = test/abcd{string1}test{string2}test //any string

var regex = /{(.+?)}/

regex.exec(abc) // i got [{string1}, string1]

             //where i am expecting [string1, string2]

i think i am missing something, what am i doing wrong?

update

i was able to get it with /g for a global search

var regex = /{(.*?)}/g

abc.match(regex) //gives [{string1}, {string2}]

how can i get the string w/o brackets?
