regex

I have the following string

"value=\"\\d{4}((((0[1-9])|(1[0-2]))((0[1-9])|([12]\\d)|(3[01]))?)?|(\\-(((0[1-9])|(1[0-2]))(\\-((0[1-9])|([12]\\d)|(3[01])))?)?)?)d{4}"

There I want to replace all the occurrences of

"{" with NCHAR(0x7B)
"}" with NCHAR(0x7D).

An the content in-between "{ }" should remain unchanged:

Ex: \\d{4} after replacing -> NCHAR(0x7B) 4 NCHAR(0x7D).

Is there a way to do this using Regular Expressions in Java?.

Anyway, this can be done processing the whole string using string operations.
