JS: How to match one capture group multiple times in the same string?

Question

The Situation

I have a string that I want to match the same capture group multiple times. I need to be able to get at both matches.

Example Code

var curly = new RegExp("{([a-z0-9]+)}", "gi");
var stringTest = "This is a {test} of my {pattern}";

var matched = curly.exec(stringTest);
console.log(matched);

The Problem

Right now, it only shows the first match, not the second.

Try this:

    var curly = /{([a-z0-9]+)}/gi,
        stringTest = "This is a {test} of my {pattern}",
        matched;
    while(matched = curly.exec(stringTest))
        console.log(matched);
