I am trying to remove some <span style="something not constant"> from a text and I tried M-x replace-regexp> "<span*>" -> ""
but it does nothing. I made sure the cursor is at the beginning of the file.
You must probably know that * in a regex means ‘repetition’, and i’m not sure you want to remove something like
<spannnnn>, do you ?What you mean is probably:
<span.*>PS: Made the same mistake as you 😉
