String Processing Delete between two characters

ccorkran (22)
Hello all,

I am currently working on string processing because I have not learned it. I have a string = <html><p>Hello < / P>. I am simply trying to remove all characters in between and including the <, > symbol. In the end it should just say Hello because it is not surrounded by <, >. Any tips in the right direction or tips would be helpful. I would like to stick with the text.erase and text.length functions if possible.

Thank you-
Christian

using namespace std;

int main() {


    string text = "<html><p>Hello < / P>";

    cout << text << endl;
    for (int a = 0; a < text.length(); a++)
    {
        if (text[a] == '<')
        {
            //use the erase code to get rid of all items
            text.erase(0, 0);
            a--;
        }
        else if (text[a] == '>')
        {

        }

    }
    cout << text << endl;
}
