    <p>I need to match all characters between double curly braces, but I need to be able to find multiple matches in one large string. </p> <p>I have been using this RegEx tester because I'm doing this in C#: <a href="http://derekslager.com/blog/posts/2007/09/a-better-dotnet-regular-expression-tester.ashx" rel="nofollow">http://derekslager.com/blog/posts/2007/09/a-better-dotnet-regular-expression-tester.ashx</a> Also, I have "SingleLine" checked because I want . to match \n</p> <p>Here is an example of the string I'm matching:</p> <pre><code>&lt;div class="nest-1-2"&gt; &lt;dl&gt; &lt;dt&gt;Type:&lt;/dt&gt; &lt;dd&gt;{{(Entity)Field Name.separator(, ) &gt; [:Name:]}}&lt;/dd&gt; &lt;dt&gt;At:&lt;/dt&gt; &lt;dd&gt;{{(Entity)Field Name &gt; [:Name:]}}&lt;/dd&gt; &lt;dt&gt;Team:&lt;/dt&gt; &lt;dd&gt;{{(Entity)Field Name.separator(, ) &gt; [:First Name:] [:Last Name:]}}&lt;/dd&gt; &lt;/dl&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>Here's the Regex that I'm using:</p> <pre><code>\{\{(?&lt;field&gt;[^&gt;]*)?[ &gt; ]?(?&lt;looptemplate&gt;[^\}\}].*)?\}\} </code></pre> <p>The problem I'm having is that I want everything in to match all text up to the next }} and this is matching the last one instead of the next one. So I'm getting 1 match which is everything from the first <code>{{</code> to the last <code>}}</code> I tried using negative look ahead <code>(?!\}\})</code> but that doesn't seem to work for me. Unfortunately, the <code>[^\}\}]</code> doesn't match both curly braces, it only matches one. </p> <p>I'm not a total noob with regular expressions, but this one has really gotten me. I've looked all around trying to find an answer, so now I'm hoping someone can help me.</p> <p>I'd really appreciate any help from the experts.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
