C# string manipulation search and replace

Question

I have a string which contain tags in the form < tag >. Is there an easy way for me to programmatically replace instances of these tags with special ascii characters? e.g. replace a tag like "< tab >" with the ascii equivelent of '/t'?

Answer 1

string s = "...<tab>...";
s = s.Replace("<tab>", "\t");

Answer 2

using System.Text.RegularExpressions;

Regex.Replace(s, "TAB", "\t");//s is your string and TAB is a tab.
