Leaves table tags in:
<cfset
VariableWithTags=#REReplaceNoCase(VariableWithTags,'<table>([[:alpha:]]|[[:s
pace:]]|[[:punct:]])+</table>','<table></table>')#>
Removes table tags:
<cfset
VariableWithTags=#REReplaceNoCase(VariableWithTags,'<table>([[:alpha:]]|[[:s
pace:]]|[[:punct:]])+</table>','')#>
Note that the default attribute for scope is "one", so the above snippet
will only remove the first instance it finds of table tags. Change the
scope to "all" if you want them all gone.
Of course, if you only want one very specific table tag set to be removed,
you'll have to find it another way (adding some other unique text for the
regexp to look for).

Help for a regular expression idiot.
I'm looking to remove all the characters between two tags:
example
from: <table> asldfj lskdf jaskldf jklasdf jlaskdfj lasdkf </table>
to: <table></table>
(removing the tags themselves would be a plus)
