title: C# string manipulation search and replace
body: <p>I have a string which contain tags in the form <code>&lt; tag &gt;</code>. Is there an easy way for me to programmatically replace instances of these tags with special ascii characters? e.g. replace a tag like <code>"&lt; tab &gt;"</code> with the ascii equivelent of <code>'/t'</code>?</p>
