title: How to remove a specific special character pattern from a string
body: <p>I have a string name s,</p>
  
  <pre><code>String s = "&lt;NOUN&gt;Sam&lt;/NOUN&gt; , a student of the University of oxford , won the Ethugalpura International Rating Chess Tournament which concluded on Dec.22 at the Blue Olympiad Hotel";  
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want to remove all &lt;<strong>NOUN</strong>> and &lt;<strong>/NOUN</strong>> tags from the string. I used this to remove tags,</p>
  
  <pre><code>s.replaceAll("[&lt;NOUN&gt;,&lt;/NOUN&gt;]","");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Yes it removes the tag. <strong>but it also removes letter 'U' and 'O' characters from the string</strong> which gives me following output.</p>
  
  <pre><code> Sam , a student of the niversity of oxford , won the Ethugalpura International Rating Chess Tournament which concluded on Dec.22 at the Blue lympiad Hotel
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Can anyone please tell me how to do this correctly? </p>
