title: is it possible to use replaceAll() with wildcards
body: <p>Good morning. I realize there are a ton of questions out there regarding replace and <code>replaceAll()</code> but i havnt seen this. </p>
  
  <p>What im looking to do is parse a string (which contains valid html to a point) then after I see the second instance of <code>&lt;p&gt;</code> in the string i want to remove everything that starts with &amp; and ends with ; until i see the next <code>&lt;/p&gt;</code></p>
  
  <p>To do the second part I was hoping to use something along the lines of <code>s.replaceAll("&amp;*;","")</code></p>
  
  <p>That doesnt work but hopefully it gets my point across that I am looking to replace anything that starts with &amp; and ends with ;</p>
