Up to three numbers in curly brackets would be: \{\d{1,3}\}

 

But you have roman numerals in your query. Are you trying to find three roman numerals in curlies?

I notice you tagged "Scripting", If you are writing a script, are you using Indesign's findGrep, or ExtendScript's RegExp? They are a bit different. - Mark
