Notepad++ Search & Replace with Regular Expressions

Question

I know its simple, but I can't get it to work...

I have a strings like

{span style="display:none"}123{/span} and 

{span style="display:none"}456{/span} and 

{span style="display:none"}789{/span}

in a file.

I want to remove all of these string.

So, I thought a simple regular expression replace in NotePad++ should be like

{span style="display:none"}[(.)]{/span}

but, this is not working.

Thank for your help!

Now using {span style="display:none"}[0-9a-zA-Z_&-. ]+{/span} in the search box!
