First, I think to do the case-insensitive matching you need to have
"(?i)" at the front - note the surrounding parens. Second, anything in
square brackets like "[...]" means you are trying to match a range of
characters, so in this case it thinks you want to match a single
character that is either a period, an asterisk, or a question mark.
Not tested, but you might need something like:
newString = customBLOCK.replace("(?i)<customTag>.*?</customTag>",
"");
HTH,
Larry
