could you explain to me why it does not work? I’m trying to write a regex in Kotlin that would match input like this:`{{something}}`. any help would be appreciated.

@ubu It works, but .+ patterns are too greedy. The first one matches product:12;k:13}}, {{product substring.

You can try lazy quantifiers .+? or limit characters captured between semicolons instead of capturing any chars with ., including semicolons and braces

@ilya.gorbunov, thanks.
