Scala regex find and replace

Question

I'm having problems finding and replacing portions of a string using regex in scala.

Given the following string: q[k6.q3]>=0 and q[dist.report][0] or q[dist.report][1] and q[10]>20 I want to replace all the occurrences of "and" and "or" with "&&" and "||".

The regex I have come up with is: .+\s((and|or)+)\s.+. However, this seems to only find the last "and".

When using https://regex101.com/#pcre I tried to solve this by adding the modifiers gU, which seems to work. But I'm not sure how to use those modifiers in Scala code.

Any help is much appreciated

Why not to use solution like:

str.replaceAll("\\sand\\s", " && ").replaceAll("\\sor\\s", " || ")
