I have tried a lot of things but still unable to figure out due to greedy nature of regular expression
abc = 'dfbafbd<a href="#Free_Calling_Best_Apps">Free Calling Best Apps</a>sbrwsggsfzbs<a></a>abc
My regular expression
abc1 = re.sub(r'<a.+\/a>',' ',abc)
output = 'dfbafbd abc'
required output = 'dfbafbd sbrwsggsfzbs abc'
