findreplace

[ziziqi]

Hi,
I hope to use findreplace to replace "<Entry....     >" with ""

<Entry LibID267631 Time1614396717>infringement
<Entry LibID563049 Time1614521006>raucous
<Entry LibID605280 Time1614522648>sensational
<Entry LibID649399 Time1614415629>supervisory
<Entry LibID654417 Time1614413372>tactic

my goal

infringement
raucous
sensational
supervisory
tactic

However, I cannot use the wildcard within findreplace....
(x) findreplace("<*>" "")

_[the macro]______________________________________________

_s="<Entry LibID267631 Time1614396717>infringement[]<Entry LibID563049 Time1614521006>raucous[]<Entry LibID605280 Time1614522648>sensational[]<Entry LibID649399 Time1614415629>supervisory[]<Entry LibID654417 Time1614413372>tactic[]"

out _s
_______________________________________________

_s="<Entry LibID267631 Time1614396717>infringement[]<Entry LibID563049 Time1614521006>raucous[]<Entry LibID605280 Time1614522648>sensational[]<Entry LibID649399 Time1614415629>supervisory[]<Entry LibID654417 Time1614413372>tactic[]"
_s.replacerx("\<.+\>" "")
out _s.rtrim;;removes empty line at the end of the string
;or
