title: Split a dangling meta character, java?
body: <p>I have a string which contains as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>String met="Your number is { 1234}."
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I need to extract the number "1234" from the string</p>
  
  <p>When I am using the split function, it gives me error of  "dangling meta character"</p>
  
  <pre><code>String[] splitMet=met.split("{");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How can I use the split function in a dangling meta character case?</p>
