Can't Remove "style" attribute from HTML

Question

Trying to remove all attributes except "src" from all html doms. like img or iframe.

Im using regex to do, but doesnt work;

    inp = Regex.Replace(inp, @"(<\s*[a-z][a-z0-9]*.*\s)(style\s*=\s*"".*?"")([^<>]*>)", "$1 $3", RegexOptions.Singleline | RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);

What's the problem that I cant see?

this: `(style\s*=\s*"".*?"")` should be something like this: `(style\s*=\s*".*")` — EpicKip, Jul 14 '17 at 07:24
The problem that you can't see is that you do not use proper HTML parser, but Regex instead. [Regex shouldn't be used to parse HTML.](https://stackoverflow.com/a/1732454/3005263) — Asunez, Jul 14 '17 at 07:35
According to [this example](http://ideone.com/kazEl6) it works. — SamWhan, Jul 14 '17 at 08:10

My proposition would be:

Wouldn't it be simplier to find all html tags with pattern "<[^>]+>", having that just remove all that doesn't contain the string "src"?
