Hi, im very new to regular expressions so this might be a stupid question So what im trying to do is remove a line of html, in this case a span tag with all the content inside it and the ending <\span>. I can get it to find the start of the tag ok but the thing is i dont know how to reference the data inside it as it could be any type (numeric/alpha/punt) etc and any length. Something like [[:alnum:]]+ ? Thanks for your help. <cfsavecontent variable="content"> <cfoutput> <span class="style">text and £$^$%^$ Data )() dfg56456456 45654</span> </cfoutput> </cfsavecontent> <cfset content2 = REReplaceNoCase(content,'\<span class\=\"style\"\>','','all')>
