Here's one way:
str = str(1:4); % Extract only the first 4 characters.
If that doesn't do it, then say why not.
By the way, the "above string" doesn't have braces in it.

I mentioned braces below. but the total string is above one. ok thank you.
You can get rid of braces first like this
str = strrep(str, '{', '');
str = strrep(str, '}', '');
str = str(1:4); % Extract only the first 4 characters.
