eregi_replace

[________]

Hi,
I got a problem with a string, i want to remove the part between <-> and </-> in this string: Hello1<->Hello2</->Hello3<->Hello4</->Hello5
All that is supposed to remain of the string is Hello1Hello3Hello5.
The problem is that I want to use eregi_replace!
I have tried "<->(.*)</->" but that also removes Hello3.

preg_replace_all('/<->(.?)<\/->/','',$string);
The question mark makes the . un-greedy
