Regular expression: Remove first match pattern in front and behind certain text

I have the following text.

<span style="color:#FF0000;">赤色</span><span style="color:#0;">|*|</span><span style="color:#0070C0;">青色</span><span style="color:#0;">|*|</span><span style="color:#00B050;">緑色</span><span style="color:#0;">|*|</span>

I need to remove any span tag that defines color for "|*|" only. That is in this case, I need to remove 

<span style="color:#0;">

and

</span>

Can anyone help to do that?

Thanks in advance!

You want something like this:

<span[^>]+style="[^"]*color:[^>]+>(\|\*\|)<\/span>

This matches <span, then one or more non-> characters, then a style attribute that contains color:, then the rest of the tag, then |*|, then </span>.

You would replace with $1 or just |*|.

Here's a demo.

Note: one reason your attempt didn't work is that you escaped the |s, but not the *. You need to escape the * as \*.
