title: Regex to get string between curly braces
body: <p>Unfortunately, despite having tried to learn regex at least one time a year for as many years as I can remember, I always forget as I use them so infrequently. This year my new year's resolution is to not try and learn regex again - <em>So this year to save me from tears I'll give it to Stack Overflow</em>. (Last Christmas remix).</p>
  
  <p>I want to pass in a string in this format <code>{getThis}</code>, and be returned the string <code>getThis</code>. Could anyone be of assistance in helping to stick to my new year's resolution?</p>
