kotlinlang

Hey everyone this is not really related to Kotlin but I need help.
I have an HTML I'd like to replace a portion of it (a json object) with my json.
the markup looks like this
```[html...] SwaggerUIBundle({ ... }) // the object I'm trying to replace is the parameter to this factory
[...html]```
The object may have indentation, new lines etc.
I came up with this:
```html.replace("""\s*\{(\s*.*)*}\s*?""".toRegex(), myJsonFormattedString)```
But since the expression resides between js brackets the regex is matching all the way to the closing bracket for example:
```{ ... }) [...javascript] }```
I tried to use the non-greedy modifier but it didn't seem to work.
Your help is appreciated!
