java 正则 花括号,花花括号之间的Java正则表达式匹配

I need to parse a log file and get the times and associated function call string

This is stored in the log file as so: {"time" : "2012-09-24T03:08:50", "message" : "Call() started"}

There will be multiple logged time function calls in between other string characters, so hence I am hoping to use regex to go through the file and grab all of these

I would like to grab the entire logged information including the curly brackets

I have tried the following

Pattern logEntry = Pattern.compile("{(.*?)}");

Matcher matchPattern = logEntry.matcher(file);

and

Pattern.compile("{[^{}]*}");

Matcher matchPattern = logEntry.matcher(file);

I keep getting illegal repetition errors, please help! Thanks.

you need to escape '{' & '}' with a '\'

so: "{(.*?)}" becomes: "\\{(.*?)\\}"

where you have to escape the '\' with another '\' first

see: http://www.regular-expressions.info/reference.html for a comprehensive list of characters that need escaping...
