I wanted to find out how you guys go about matching words that have html

Im not sure how I should go about writing the regexp for this, so some
of your examples or suggestions would be nice. Thanks in advance.
I guess that it would be something like:
V<!--.*-->i<!--.*-->a<!--.*-->g<!--.*-->r<!--.*-->a
".*" will eat the whole string. Use [^-]*
Udi, ".*" is stingy. It won't eat the whole string unless it's on the
right of the \/ operator. Further, it is legal HTML to put a hyphen
between comments: <!-- this - is - a - comment -->, so the character
class probably wouldn't work all the time.
