Subject: Regexp

Hello,

I'm new to Ruby and I'm fighting with regexp.

I would like to replace '<math>test1<\math>' and '<math>test2<\math>' by 
'ok' in the string "blabla1 blabla1 <math>test1<\math> blabla2 blabla2 
<math>test2<\math>"

When I try this :

 @a = "blabla1 blabla1 <math>test1<\math> blabla2 blabla2 
<math>test2<\math>"
 @b = @a.gsub(/<math>.+<\math>/,'ok')

I get "blabla1 blabla1 ok" instead of "blabla1 blabla1 ok blabla2 
blabla2 ok"

Could you please help me to tune my regexp so it works the way I want ?

Thank you in advance,

Fred.
