Here's a possible approach

If there should be just one match:

pry(main)> var =3D "this sentence is my variable and the important
information is {inside these brackets}"
=3D> "this sentence is my variable and the important information is {inside
these brackets}"
pry(main)> new_var =3D *var.match(/({.*})/)[1]*
=3D> "{inside these brackets}"

If there could be more than one match:

pry(main)> new_var2 =3D *var.match(/({.*})/).captures*
=3D> ["{inside these brackets}"]
pry(main)>

new_var has only a match, while new_var2 has an array of all the
occurrencies

Hope it helped
