I've been messing about with this for a while to no avail.. so help
would be appreciates

I'm new to regular expressions and tried this with preg_replace, now I'm
using eregi_replace !

here's the text

$txt = '<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New
Roman";">It<br />
blahh blahhh blahhh of<br />
</span>';

what I want to do it take the font-size and font-family attributes "out" so
style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman";"
beomes
style=" "

and the php

$pattern = 'font-size:*\;';
$txt = eregi_replace($replace,'',$txt);

$pattern = 'font-family:*\;';
$txt = eregi_replace($replace,'',$txt);

What I'm trying to do is match the font-size: and replace everything up
to the ; with '' ie nothing

dont work
Feel I'm so close ;-(

tia
