I have a string by "This is apples, it costs me &xyz and I bought them at &abc"

I need to get the folowing output

"This is apples, it costs me {xyz} and I bought them at {abc}"

Basically I need to replace &word with {word}

Thanks
Sri

Words beginning with & needs to be replaced with {} around them. Please help

$string =~ s!&(\S+)!{$1}!g;  ## $string contains the string

Dear friend,

You can use the following way also.

 
$var="This is apples, it costs me &xyz  and I bought them at &abc";
$var=~s!&([a-z]{3})!{$1}!g;
print "$var\n";

You can also use the following script.

$str=~s/&(\w+)/{$1}/g
print $str

See the following code. It will match & followed by n number of
numbers/characters.

$val =~ s/&(.*) /{$1}/g;
print $val;

In above code(previous post) space will not come, now I correct it.

$val =~ s/&(.*)/{$1}/g;
print $val;

sorry, I think while copy and pasting time the space is added.
