matching special characters in ruby reg ex

Hi,
I'm trying to write a regex to strip wiki-like formating in
ruby.

in this section of wiki text, i want to retain just the
first
paragraph(starting with Microsoft Corporation) of this
article.
--------------
{{Infobox_Company
| company_name = Microsoft Corporation
| company_logo = [[Image:Microsoft logo.svg|220px|]]
| company_type = [[Public company|Public]]
({{nasdaq2|MSFT}})
...
}}

'''Microsoft Corporation''' ({{nasdaq|MSFT}}) is an [[United
States|
American]] [[multinational corporation|multinational]]
[[computer]]
technology [[corporation]] with 76,000 employees in 102
countries and
global annual [[revenue]] of [[United States dollar|US
$]]...
Originally founded to develop and sell [[BASIC programming
language|
BASIC]] [[interpreter ....
--------------

I'm thinking of remove anything inside {{ }}  characters. So
something
like /{{[ALL_CHARACTERS}}/
What can I define for ALL_CHARACTERS to match anything? I've
tried
[:print:] and wsd but they don't match the odd chars like
=,'.

Thanks,
Tommy

Hi Tommy,

You essentially need anything within {{}}, so please try
negating
these two characters in a character class this way [^{}]

Thanks
Syd
