I'll explain why this doesn't work. "<!--s1-->[*]<!--e1-->"
This replaces "<!--s1-->" followed by anything followed by <!--e1-->. The problem is that Regexs are "greedy" so this replaces <!--s1--> followed by anything _including_ "<!--e1-->" What you want is to replace <!--s1--> followed by anything UNTIL <!--e1-->. So you need to do something like "<!--s1-->[^(<!--e1-->)]" - (pseudocode...)
