Suppose I have string like below:

<a>b<c>

I want to remove both <a> and <c>, but I can’t use gsub("<.*>","","<a>b<c>") as this will remove the b also.

I asked a similar question before, but on a second thought, I think I should learn in general, how to deal with this kind of problems. Thanks.

    Don’t allow a closing bracket > in the stuff between the brackets:

    z <- "<a>b<c>"
    gsub("<[^>]+>","",z)
