Search help for <> tag

[cay]

I want to search for text between characters (or strings, not sure) in xml tags. It’s worked great for format searchterm=" " with a string I found to search any number of characters.
But, now I have things that are mostly enclosed in * and not sure how to get at the * to replace.

• sublime text changes these < to < but tried with regular expressions both on and off (are they regular expressions?)

I want to replace all the instances between the tags with a generic term, like so:
someSkinCode

Any tips or help appreciated, thanks!

Please format your post properly in Markdown, wrapping xml tags in backticks, otherwise we can’t see what you are asking as they get interpreted as HTML
