[thelist] Regex frustration....

I'm losing my mind trying to figure out how regex's work...
I've got some HTML files that I'd like to strip various different kinds of
<font> tags out of...
Rather than finding them one-by-one and deleting them manually, I was hoping
to try out something new: regular expressions.
Boy, are these things hard.
Can anyone shed some light on how I can remove these font tags as easily
(and elegantly) as possible?
I started doing things like <font.*> and <.+font.+> and weird crap - I just
don't think I get it.
Can someone help me?
Thanks!
Chris.
