regex need

I want to match <script> to </script> using regular expression

I am using <script.*</script>

It matches only if there is space after </script> else it matches last </script>.

If anybody knows how to match, please reply.

Not sure of the details of what you are wanting it for, but the only thing you need to be careful with is the '/' character. That is used to start and finish the regular expression and if you want it to appear in the middle of the expression it needs to be escapped. Adblock automatically does this so that's why some people haven't bothered doing it in an Adblock Filter. So your expression might look like:

/<script.*<\/script>/
