How to use regular expression edit the content?

I'm edit an rst file for a document. There are lot of image links I have to edit them one by one, I'd like to ask, is there anybody can help write a regular expression that can transfer it in one time.

The original text looks like: 

*Figure 1.2: Where is the dog?* <dog.html#fig_dog>

I'd like it translate it to:

:ref:fig_dog

And there is another one:

*How are you* <how_are_you.html>

I'd like it translate it to:

:ref:how_are_you

I have try some expression in editplus or notepad++, but i can't match them very well.

Search:

\*.*?\*\s*<(?:.*#)?([^.>]+)(\.[^>]*)?>

Replace:

:ref:\1

split into two regexes

To match before the html

<(.*).html.*?>

To match the anchor

<.*.html#(.*?)>
