RegEx help needed

[Frank Oquendo]

Is it possible for RegEx to take the following string:

<QTY * WEIGHT> lbs.

And return the following tokens?:

QTY * WEIGHT
lbs.

IOW, can I split a string on "<>"?

Sure. I'd probably use:

<(?<Value>.+?)>

That's the one. Thanks a bunch, Eric. After doing a little research on
RegEx, I discovered how to use a MatchEvaluator function to greatly
simplify the task of evaluating algebraic expressions at runtime.

No more recursive code. Yay!

That's an outstanding little tool. I especially like the code generator.
Thanks for the tip, Roberto.
