RegExp pattern to find ASP tags

[Humlan]

I'm trying to modify an ASP classic file search engine (

http://www.webwizguide.info/),

since it now finds VB code inside the files. I'm trying to change the regular expression pattern used to avoid searching inside HTML tags to also include <% VBScript tags %>.

[b]Original code[/b]
'objRegExp.Pattern = "<[^>]*>"
'strFileContents = objRegExp.Replace(strFileContents,"")

[b]Modified code (not working)[/b]
objRegExp.Pattern = "<\%[^>]*\%\>"

Trying to escape the percentage signs with backslashes doesn't really work, and after Googling for an hour, I'm stuck.

Any regexp wizards hovering around?

I don't think you need to escape % at all?! Just do it simply like this.
[tt] objRegExp.Pattern = "<%[^>]*%>"[/tt]
Or I miss the point.

If I don't escape the tags, IIS will think they are ASP tags...

What about and what happens if all escaped?
[tt] objRegExp.Pattern = "\x3C\x25[^\x3E]*\x25\x3E"[/tt]
