I start with <P><SPAN>Duane</SPAN></P><P><SPAN style=text>[EMAIL PROTECTED]</SPAN></P>
I want to end with <P>Duane</P><P><SPAN style=text>[EMAIL PROTECTED]</SPAN></P> I want to remove the span tag without attributes and its ending tag, leaving behind what ever text was in between.

Are you wanting to remove all SPAN tags and leave everything else? Can you give an example of what you want the text to look like AFTER the regex operation? Thanks -----Original Message----- From: Duane Boudreau [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 02, 2004 6:58 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RegEx (again!) 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?
