Regex help

I'd like to replace any html tags containing "< >" with a space. For
example, <TR VALIGN=TOP>, I'd like to replace that with a space. Is
there a way to do this? Thanks.

Hi,

The expression would be something like this:

\<(.+?)\>

Group 1 will be the contents of the html tag without the brackets.

e.g.
// C#
string _InputText = "example, <TR VALIGN=TOP>, I'd like to replace";

Regex MyRegex = new Regex(@"\<(.+?) \>", RegexOptions.Ig noreCase);
string nohtmltags = MyRegex.Replace (_InputText, " ");

Another one would be

\<([^>]+)\>

explanation:
Match '<'
Match one or more characters but dont match '>'
Match '>'

I'm struggling with something that should be fairly simple. I just don't know the regext syntax very well, unfortunately. I'd like to parse words out of what is basically a boolean search string. It's actually the input string into a Microsoft Index Server search. The string will consist of words, perhaps enclosed in quotes or parentheses. I'd like to use Regex to pull out the words, or the phrases if the words are enclosed in quotes....

Hi Everyone, I am using a regex to check for a string. When all the file contains is my test string the regex returns a match, but when I embed the test string in the middle of a text file a match is never returned. The string that I give to the regex is one that contains the entire contents of a text file. I'm using the multi-line option and I've also tried stripping out the VbCr
