Regular Expression for Extracting Script Tags

Question

I am trying to write a regular expression in C# to remove all script tags and anything contained within them.

So far I have come up with the following: \\<(

Answer 1

This regular expression does the trick just fine:

\<(?:[^:]+:)?script\>.*?\<\/(?:[^:]+:)?script\>

But don't do it please

You will run into a problem by this simple HTML:

";

How are you going to solve this problem? It is smarter to use the HTML Agility Pack for such things.
