I'm just catching this at the end, but I think this would be useful
for you:

IDL> results = stregex(line, '([[:alnum:]]*) = \{([[:alnum:]]*)\}', /
extract, /subexpr)
IDL> print, results[0]
Name = {Joe}
IDL> print,
results[1]
Name
IDL> print, results[2]
Joe

IDL regular expressions have character classes as well, but a
different notation than Perl, i.e. \s is [[:blank:]], \w is
[[:alnum:]], etc. See

for a more detailed account.
