Are there anyway to format raw string using ```.format()``` ?

When using raw strings in regix, We cannot use curly bracket inside the string. Old method of % helped me to complete this challenge.

I can think of two ways to handle this:

  1. do the format first
  2. escape the braces in the regex

FYI: when quoting code inline, use only one "back-tick".
