I need a C# RegEx pattern which can remove anything between < and >

E.g if my string is

<Html> some stuff here 123445!@#$% </HTML>

then the RegEx should return me only

some stuff here 123445!@#$%

It should remove anything between < and > and then also remove “<” & “>”

here is a working example : 

string plainText = Regex.Replace(htmlText, "<[^>]+?>", "");

edit

Im talking as interpreter :

< = search for ‘<‘ char

[^>] = now continue search for char which is not ‘>’

+ continue searching for more instances of it

? but dont be greedy

> when im saying dont be greedy – i mean – until i will encounter with ‘>’

AND REPLACE THIS WITH “”
