[Tutor] Newbie - regex question

[Sam M]

Hi Guys,

I'd like remove contents between tags <email> that matches pattern "WORD1"  
as follows:

Change
"stuff <email>word1-emai...@domain.com</email> more stuff  
<email>word1-emai...@domain.com</email> still more stuff  
<email>word2-emai...@domain.com</email> stuff after WORD2  
<email>word1-emai...@domain.com</email>"

To
"stuff  more stuff  still more stuff  
<email>word2-emai...@domain.com</email> stuff after WORD2 "

The following did not work
newl = re.sub (r'<email>WORD1-.*</email>',"",line)

Thanks in advance!
