Well, that works better, but it isn't finding this:<br />
<br />
&lt;(birth)&gt; <br />
<br />
Parentheses?
</div>


<div>
Please post a fuller sample of the code you are using, and the string you are running it against.<br />
<br />
The parentheses should not be a problem. &nbsp;At least, I would not expect that they would.

<div>
You are correct, it is finding it, my problem is elsewhere.<br />
<br />
Still checking a few others, but I think you've nailed it for me. &nbsp;Points should be forthcoming...<br />

</div>


<div>
Try the following:<br />
<br />
&quot;&lt;(.*?)&gt;&quot;
</div>


<div>
Ahh, I see that you already got a solution... My solution will also return you the text inside the &lt;&nbsp;&gt; using a non greedy expression

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
Is there a simple regular expression that will find <i></i>any<i></i> string contained with &lt;&nbsp;and &gt;? &nbsp;I am working through textual data and I am looking for certain patterns. &nbsp;For instance, I have <br />
&quot;&lt;Employee Date Of Birth&gt;&quot;, this I would want to find.<br />
<br />
I have some examples that <i></i>mostly<i></i> work, such as:<br />
&quot;&lt;([,'/ A-Za-z0-9\-]+)&gt;&quot;<br />
but this fails to find &quot;&lt;(date of birth)&gt;&quot; because it doesn't find the parentheses. &nbsp;I could research and figure out how to include the parenetheses, but then I will stumble upon another character it won't find, and so on, and so on...<br />
<br />
Seems to be there is a simple solution that I cannot find in any of the examples.

Is there a simple regular expression that will find any string contained with < and >?  I am working through textual data and I am looking for certain patterns.  For instance, I have 
"<Employee Date Of Birth>", this I would want to find.

I have some examples that mostly work, such as:
"<([,'/ A-Za-z0-9\-]+)>"
but this fails to find "<(date of birth)>" because it doesn't find the parentheses.  I could research and figure out how to include the parenetheses, but then I will stumble upon another character it won't find, and so on, and so on...

Regex - Find any string that is surrounded by &quot;&lt;&quot; and &quot;&gt;&quot;

A regular expression ("regex") is a sequence of characters that define a search pattern, mainly for use in pattern matching with strings, or string matching, i.e. "find and replace"-like operations. Regular expression processors are found in several search engines, search and replace dialogs of several word processors and text editors, and in the command lines of text processing utilities, such as sed and AWK. Many programming languages provide regular expression capabilities, some built-in, for example Perl, JavaScript, Ruby, AWK, and Tcl, and others via a standard library, for example .NET languages, Java, Python and C++ (since C++11). Most other languages offer regular expressions via a library.

Regular Expressions

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
