Question

I want to seach within a string for heading tags,I’m looking for a regular expression to find the index within the document wherever a heading tag occurs, So something like:

str.index('<h*>')

Where the * would represent only 1 character ie. 1 , 2 , 3 etc. eliminating any head tags or html tags

Any help would be much appreciated.
