Hello there :)

kt
val thisIsATest = "**bold** normal **even bold** normal2"

"\\*\\*([\\s\\S]+?)\\*\\*(?!\\*)".toRegex().replace(thisIsTest,".").let{
println(it)
}

Is there any way to print like

bash
.bold. normal .even bold. normal2

Instead of [the output from the above code]

. normal . normal2

try changing the replacement to

".$1."

Thanks :)
