Looking for help to remove text in between < >

Postby sDL93 » Thu Aug 01, 2019 12:08 pm

Hello guys, so I am completely new to this, had a play about but couldn't figure it out, I'm sure it's simple. I'm currently analyzing data for my Master's dissertation and need to remove usernames inside < > from .txt files. Does anyone know how to do this? Cheers for any help!

BRU is for changing filenames.

A text editor would be used for editing text files.
With Vim, you could do something like:

s/<.*>/<>/

(spa m mer in the midst?)

That just shows you how much I know about this topic. Cheers for the advice I'll look into it. Definitely not a spammer.
