Hello, I have string

val string = "Welcome<br>how are you?"

when I am trying to regex

string?.replace("\\<.*?\\>", " ");

it's not working. It returning same string. Anyone know how to fix this problem?

you are missing a

toRegex()

string.replace("\\<.*?\\>".toRegex(), " ")

your implementation is just a string replacement.

ohh nice thank you

Since you’re asking in #android maybe a better solution to what you’re actually trying to do is https://developer.android.com/reference/android/text/Html#fromHtml(java.lang.String) ?
