Parse out all the "{" + string + "}" occurences?

[_iobuf]

Is there a way to iterate through a string of text and find each occurence of a string that contains a substring of "{" + (variable string) + "}" and replace it with a corresponding string defined in a dictionary (of which the key value is the "{" + (variable string) + "}" ??

string OldStr = "Application";
string NewStr = "Program";

        string str = @"Run the Application , Close the Application and  Delete the Application";
        str = str.Replace(OldStr, NewStr);

I know nothing , I know nothing ...

Yes. I suppose you'll want a hint as to how! :) If the string is formatted such that { and } only occur as a wrapper to a variable name then the easiest way I can think of is to run a regex on it, match all "\{[^\}]\}" and iterate through them. If not you'll probably have to write a lexer of some kind.

Thanks.. I used that in a loop and put all the key values as the string to be replaced

This is a good solution too, thx

Given that you have the text in the text variable and the replacements in the replacements dictionary:

text = RegEx.Replace(text, @"\{(.+?)\}", m => replacements[m.Value]);

Despite everything, the person most likely to be fooling you next is yourself.
