String formating

[MIKI785]

Hello,

Is there a way to remove anything in between '<' and '>' characters from string? Any help would be appreciated.

local str = " Test" 
local start = str:find ( "<" ) 
local _, end_ = str:find ( ">" ) 
local str = str:gsub ( str:sub ( ( start + 1 ), ( end_ - 1 ) ), "" ) 
outputChatBox ( str ) 

That seems to work, it removes "Hello World" and leaves: "<> Test" intact.
