Here's the thing, I have a file with the following:

I need to extract the value between the {} when it starts with a $. My expression works ok for KEY1 (the value part, the string to the right of the equal sign), however it doesn't match for the value for KEY2.

Right. That's because regex_match return true only if the regular expression matches your entire string. If you want to search for a regular expression in a string, you want regex_search. -- Darin
