I have this HTML code:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE></TITLE>

</HEAD>

<BODY>

<form action="http://www.aweber.com/scripts/addlead.pl" method="post">
<input id="email" class="text" type="text" size="20" value="Enter your best email" name="email" onblur="if (this.value == '') {this.value = 'Enter your best email';}" onfocus="if (this.value == 'Enter your best email') {this.value = '';}" />
<input type="hidden" name="meta_web_form_id" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="meta_split_id" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="listname" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="meta_adtracking" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="meta_message" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="meta_required" value="email">
<input type="hidden" name="meta_tooltip" value="">
<div style="padding-top:5px;">
<center><input class="button1" id="submit" type="image" src="red_getwaitinglist.png" name="submit" value="Get Instant Access"/></center>
</div>
</form>

</BODY>
</HTML>

and I’m using this Function to replace the element using RegEx:

Function StripTags(ByVal html As String, ByVal replace As String) As String
    Return Regex.Replace(html, "<form.+?</form>", replace)
End Function

but it doesn’t seem to work. It returns the same code (no replacement).

I don’t know much of regex so I’m assuming the RegEx syntax might be wrong.
Can someone help me with that or show me where I’m wrong?

    Append the RegexOption Singleline. Without this . will not match newlines.

    Return Regex.Replace(html, "<form.+?</form>", replace, RegexOptions.Singleline)

    See RegexOptions Enumeration for more details.
