Hi, @Karthikeyan

I speculate that the & gt symbol in the problem is a web page parsing error, it should be >

using System;
using System.Text.RegularExpressions;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        string input = "Created by @< MyName >; for the #ID-876 and reviewed by @< HisName >;";

      
        string pattern = @"@<([^>]*)>";

      
        MatchCollection matches = Regex.Matches(input, pattern);

        if (matches.Count > 0)
        {
            foreach (Match match in matches)
            {
               
                string extractedText = match.Groups[1].Value;
                Console.WriteLine("text: " + extractedText);
            }
        }
        else
        {
            Console.WriteLine("not found");
        }
    }
}
