title: using replace() or replaceall()
body: <p>I know of using this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public String RemoveTag(String html){
      html = html.replaceAll("\\&lt;.*?&gt;","");
      html = html.replaceAll("&amp;nbsp;","");
      html = html.replaceAll("&amp;amp;","");
      return html;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This removes all tags within an html string. However the question is how does it get a wild characters in between <code>&lt;.*?&gt;</code>. Could someone give me a more detailed explanation on how getting wild characters in String.</p>
  
  <p>The main reason for this is that I still have this characters that has "an @ at start point  and } at end point" and I want to get rid of everything in between <code>"@"</code> and <code>"}"</code>.</p>
