regexp with match over multiple lines

I want to remove all instances of <![CDATA[ ... ]]> data in a file.  My
regexp works if the start and end tag is on the same line.  But not if the
end tag is not on this same line.  Is it possible to apply regex across
multiple lines.

My regex is: <\!\[CDATA\[.*\]\]> and that works if all on one line.  

What can I do?  Is this where lisp required?
