[Gambas-user] Problem with lazy regexp

[T Lee Davidson]

According to http://gambaswiki.org/wiki/doc/pcre , using "*?" in a regular expression should lazily match 0 or more characters. 
However, it appears to act greedily.

I am trying to do some very simple HTML tag stripping with 'Regex.Replace(sText, "<.*?>", "")', and it takes out way more than 
just the tags.

Have I misunderstood the documentation?

(Project attached.)
