I want to create an RTF reader, and I want to get the plain text part. But I can't "delete" the commands from the incoming string 's'...
var plain = s.replace(/\\.*(\\|\s|{){1}/g,"");

a sample input and expected output would be better. – Avinash Raj Sep 26 '14 at 14:48

A command starts with a \ and ends with \ or space or { – DBalazs Sep 26 '14 at 14:50

you mean this `\\.*?(\\|\s|{)` – Avinash Raj Sep 26 '14 at 15:01

have you looked to see if there are any javascipt RTF parsing libraries already out there? I think what you really want here is a parsing solution, not a regex one. – Mike Brant Sep 26 '14 at 15:41

In addition to making the the `.*` non-greedy with `.*?`, the `{1}` is redundant and you need to escape `{` as `\{`. – Sep 26 '14 at 15:47
