Replace td tag with regex

Question

How can I replace a certain part in a html string variable with a definied string?

var htmlvar = "<td style=\"border-width: 0px;\" align=\"left\" id=\"tdPassword\">@Model.Password</td>"

that the result looks like that:

var htmlvar = "<td style=\"border-width: 0px;\" align=\"left\" id=\"tdPassword\">*******</td>"

I'm using c# .net 3.5 and I thougt of a regex solution.

Use

(?<start>\<td[^\>]*\>)[^\<]*(?<end></td>)

to match, and

$1****$2

for replacement.
