python remove unknown text inside specific mark

I have this text
text = "{\g1}Hello world!{\i6}"
I want to remove the curly brackets and the text inside them without knowing what is inside the curly brackets,
I know how to remove a specific text by using .replace("Hello", "Hi")
(sorry for my English)

>Solution :

You can use regular expressions to find & replace a particular pattern of characters.

In this case, a suitable regex pattern would be {\\.{2}}.

• { matches a "{" character
• \\ matches a "\" character
• . matches any character except line breaks
• {2} match exactly 2 of the preceding token (. in this case)
• } matches a "}" character

So your python script would be:

import re

PATTERN = r'{\\.{2}}'

text = '{\g1}Hello world!{\i6}'

clean_text = re.sub(PATTERN, '', text)

print(clean_text)

And it would produce the output:

Hello world!
