I’m in the process of learning Regex at the moment, but I’ve come to a stump. What does the reg ex to find a string wrapped in certain characters look like?

E.g.: Say I want to find a string wrapped in {:: and ::}, such as:

{:: THIS IS MY STRING THAT I WANT TO FIND WITH REGEX ::}

Thanks in advance!
