I thought I was finally catching on to this regex stuff but I guess not.

I am using a tag from the developer exchange that strips a bunch of extra
html that Word inserts into an HTML document. The text left over leaves a
lot of extra <span>xyx</span> formatting. Since the opening <span> is empty
I would like to remove them from the text.  I tried this but no luck.

textString = "<P><SPAN><b>Duane
Boudreau</b></SPAN></P><P><SPAN>[EMAIL PROTECTED]</SPAN></P>";

textString = reReplaceNoCase(textString, "<span>([^</span>]*)</span>", "\1",
"ALL");

I thought that the text between the () meant all text except </span> between
the opening string "<span>" and the next "</span>"

What am I doing wrong here?

Thanks,
Duane
