Regex Expression to match the Pattern

I am trying to figure a regex that matches the pattern

}

{
one or more lines here
}

i;e a curly closing brace followed by zero or more empty lines followed by a curly opening brace followed by zero or more lines of any text followed by a curly closing bracket.

I tried the following :

/}\s*{.\n*}/

with the following explanation:

} - matches the character } literally
\s* zero or more character [\r\n\t\f ]
{ matches the character { literally
. matches any character (except newline)
\n* matches 0 or more line-feed (newline)
} matches the character } literally

This however does not match.

Please point out what am I doing wrong with this ?

}\s*{[^}]*}

Try this.See demo.

Your regex

{.\n*}

effectively quantifies \n instead of ..So it matches a character and any number of \n's.
