you have to use UPDATETEXT - there are some good examples in Bokks Online :)

OK, I have seen the examples, but I do not follow - or understand.

I have a repeted patterna @lt; (= tagstart <) and tag end (>) that I need to replace in the contenttext field, wich contains hmtl source code converted by a system into <TAGGNAME> - and now I want to replace all the <, and > into < >.

And there is a lot of them of course - is there a nice aoul out there that can help me with a hint to how to go about to du this?
