This is for a file you have on your own machine?  Load it in an editor
(emacs my choice) and create a macro that replaces an instance of
"<STYLE> [anything] </STYLE>" with "" and execute it as many times as
needed.  And Perl regular expressions will do that, too -- you just
have to be sure to use the perl regex locution (the '?' after '+')
that makes matching "<STYLE>.+?</STYLE>" non-greedy.
