Hey All,

I have some template code and I created some custom html tags - but I could use comments too I imagine. Anyways, I can't for the life of me get this to work..

I want to omit the tags and everything in between.


[% customBlock = BLOCK;
'<customTag>';
A BUNCH OF TT STUFF
'</customTag>'
%]

[%
newString = customBLOCK.replace("(?i:<customTag>[.*?]</customTag>)","");
%]

[%
newString = customBLOCK.replace("(?i:<customTag>[.*]</customTag>)","");
%]

[%
newString = customBLOCK.replace("(?i:<customTag>[.]*</customTag>)","");
%]

tried a few more things too.. any ideas?
