I forgot to mention, the string above, "{", keeps changing with every
subsequent evaluation!  I tried to extract the sub-expressions with
match-string with no luck.  I get nil!

(let ((test "\\section{Heading{ignoreheading}}\nText\n"))
  (string-match "\\(\\\\\\\\section{.+{ignoreheading}}\\\\n\\)\\(.+\\)" test)
  (match-string 1 test)
  )
nil

Thanks,
