If you use .* inside the quotes then you may end up matching too much. Try this instead: s/<META\s+NAME="keywords"\s+CONTENT="([^"])"[^>]*>/$1/ig Of course, this won't work in all cases (for example, if the HTML contains single quotes, or the attributes are in a different order), but it may be enough for what you need.
