Hi all  
I am Trying To sort Out This Proble for the past 4 Hours…But  
couldn’t Find Any Solutions I have a string …it contains text and  
images also…from that string i want to replace the All The Images Into  
Empty space…  
that is images Has to Be Removed.

```
I tried like below

item.description = item.description.gsub(/\<*img.*src=".*".*?\/\>/,'

```

')

Using This Regular Expression I can able to Reomve Only The First  
Occurrences of The Images,But I Need TO Remove All Occurences Of The  
Images

So Any Guru Can give Me solution…

Someone has already posted a possible solution in your last thread (less  
than 20 minutes before this email). I’m afraid repeating the question  
ad-nauseum won’t get you help any faster.
