# string="something <a a> somethig <a a> something"
# now i want to change /<a.*a>/ to "tag"
# i want result like this
# string="something tag somethig tag something"

:008:0> string="something <a a> somethig <a a> something"
=> "something <a a> somethig <a a> something"
:009:0> string.gsub(/<a.*?a>/,'tag')
=> "something tag somethig tag something"
