Edit element text using regex?

[Heck Lennon]

Hello,

I see that BS supports regexes in find/find_all, but does it also support regexes to edit an element's text, as a simpler wayt than this?

===========

#remove header "name=Blah description="
pattern_desc = re.compile('^name=.+? description=(.+)$')
for wpt in soup.find_all('wpt'):
desc = wpt.desc.string
m = pattern_desc.search(desc)
if m:
desc = m.group(1)
print(desc)

===========

Thank you.
