regex trouble

Hi all,

I am currently trying to convert a bunch of html files. I am using regular expresions to do that.

I am converting a set of Font tags

Here's a sample

<FONT FACE="MathematicalPi 1></FONT> || &plus
<FONT FACE="MathematicalPi 1>1</FONT> || &plus;
<FONT FACE="MathematicalPi 1>2</FONT> || &minus;
<FONT FACE="MathematicalPi 4>2</FONT> || <b>&minus;</b>
<FONT FACE="Univ GreekwMathPi>.</FONT> || &gt;
<FONT FACE="Univ NewswCommPi>r</FONT> || &copy

My replacement is to work like this

1.Search font face upto the closing tag - example:<FONT FACE="MathematicalPi 1......>
2.Search Entity value - example 1 (as in <FONT FACE="MathematicalPi 1>1</FONT> )
3.Replace the the whole string <font....upto </font with the replacement character - example &plus


Here's the code that i tried

Code:

---

Sub FontR()
'Debug.Print ReplaceTags("<font face=""mathematical pi 1"" color=""#000000""> 1</font>", "<font face=""mathematical pi 1""", "1", "&plus")

End Sub

Function ReplaceTags(ByVal ReplaceIn As String, ByVal Replaceend As String, ByVal SearchFor As String, ByVal Replacement As String) As String
    Dim re As RegExp
    Dim s As String
    Set re = New RegExp
    re.Pattern = Repend & "(.|\n)*>(\s)*" & SearchFor & "(\s)*</FONT>"
    re.Global = True
    re.IgnoreCase = True
    s = re.Replace(ReplaceIn, " " & Replacement)
    ReplaceTags = s
End Function

But its not replacing....When i debugged it showed the correct values but it did not replace the string
