i need catch contain of {} parenthesis example nokia , tag _* part. example in {nokia}_b need extract both nokia , b tag. tried without success regex unfortunately doesn't work multi tokens word

{\w{1,}}_(b|m|s|c|o) 

you can use combination of capture groups , findall extract needed properties

>>> import re >>> s = "{nokia}_b {lumia 640 xl}_m {lte}_o {8gb}_s" >>> matches = re.findall(r"\{([0-9a-za-z ]*)\}", s) >>> print matches ['nokia', 'lumia 640 xl', 'lte', '8gb']
