The following code posted elsewhere on this site strips out html tags
Code:
alias hst {  return $regsubex($1,/<.+?>/g,) }

I have modified it as follows,
Code:
alias braces {  return $regsubex($1,/{.+?>}g,) }

having renamed it and replaced '<' & '>' with '{' & '}'.

The new alias performs a similar function to that of $hst, but strips out 'tags' delimited by curly brackets instead of tags delimited by angle brackets. However, the alias fails to perform as I would wish when there is a space between the opening '{' and the contents of the 'tag'. Any advice would be appreciated.

Just because it never happened doesn't mean it isn't true.
