Ive been reading on this for days. All the ones in this forum as well. the .* seems pretty typical I thought. I tested it it works. here is what I have now...

# Engine on only need once
RewriteEngine On
# 301 permanent redirect index.html to root (including subdirectories)
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /.*index\.html?\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^(.*)index\.html?$ /$1 [R=301,L]
# 301 permanent redirect from non-www to www
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
