Regular Expressions

[Oriana]

hi!

   I've been working with Python for about two months now but I just
started learning about regular expressions.
   My question is the following. I have a source file that contains
code and comments. A piece of the comments contains a revision history
that I would like to erase completely from the file since I never
update it and I don't use it anymore. The file looks something like

/****************************************
* Some info
*
* More info 
*
*----------------------------------------
*
* Revision History:
*
* blah
* blah
* blah
*
*----------------------------------------


I would like to write some sort of regular expression to replace all
the text from the first dotted line up to the first asterisk that it's
followed either by another asterisk or by another *----
line.....please help, I don't know where to start!!!
