in Perl, i do thusly:

$adtext = "This is a {test}  john.smith\@mail.mainetoday.com";
 
$email = $1 if($adtext=~/(\{.*\})/);
 
print "email = $email\n\n";

and i get back "email = "test".

i then do thusly in PHP:

                $f=fopen($test_name, "r");
             
               
while(!feof($f)) {
             
                       $line=fgets($f, 4096);
        
         
                       preg_match_all("/(\{.*\})/", $line, $holes);
         
          
               }

after this $holes contains the number of elements i expect to get back, but has no 
values. any ideas what i am doing wrong?
