I have a text of 8XX lines that look like this:
id="**02_item2_02" duration="29" style="**joe"
id="02_item3_01" duration="35.5" style="joseph"
The text between id=" and style=" is never the same.
How can I replace anything to the right of the id="
and up through and including style=", so all my lines can look like:
id="joseph" bla!bla!bla! text from the script
id="sara" bla!bla!bla! text from the script
et cetera.

I'm sorry to say, it's bad. (1) Does 8XX mean approximately 800? (2a) Do you have a text file or a Microsoft Word document? (2b) Do you need multiple answers (Word, Notepad++, WordPad) or just one? (2c) Are you willing to consider other tools? Are you able to access / willing to install Cygwin or another Unix-like environment? (3a) According to your example, you aren't replacing everything betweenid="andstyle="; you're replacing everything to the right ofid="and up through and includingstyle=". I edited your question to say so; fix it if I got it wrong. … (Cont’d)

(Cont’d) … (3b) You aren't replacing text; you're deleting everything to the right ofid="and up through and includingstyle=". (3c) And then you're adding text at the end of the line. (4a) Where didjoego? (4b) Where didsaracome from? … … … … … … … … Please do not respond in comments; edit your question to make it clearer and more complete.

You could use this regex:
(id=").+style="(.+)
and replace with:
$1$2 blah blah blah! text from the script
