Regex to strip span inside a tag using classic ASP -

i strip <span> tags , styles within <h2> tags eg

<h2><span style="font-family: sans-serif;">{text remain}</span></h2> 

or

<h2><span style="font-family:font-size: 26.3158px;">{text remain}</span></h2> 

would become

<h2>{text remain}</h2> 

any suggestions of how achieve regex? ideally in classic asp (don't ask).

thanks in advance

i whipped out pretty quick, may have issues, worked. need update double quotes.

<%  text = "<h2><span style='font-family:font-size: 26.3158px;'>{text remain}</span></h2>"  dim objregexp : set objregexp = new regexp objregexp.pattern = "<\/?span(\ style='.*')?>" objregexp.ignorecase = true objregexp.global = true cleantext = objregexp.replace(text, "")   response.write text response.write cleantext  %> 

results:

<h2><span style='font-family:font-size: 26.3158px;'>{text remain}</span></h2> <h2>{text remain}</h2>
