I have Titles that have \<\<\< and \>\>\> in the Title and I need to change these to Standard Brackets.

Is there a way to change single of multiple instances of a \< to an Opening Bracket and conversly changing Single or Multiple instances of \> to a single Closing Bracket.

Thanks for your help

Gavin

I guess that you want to replace '\<\<\<\<' with '(' and the same with closing brackets.  
For this create 2 actions of the type "Replace with regular expression  
Search string: \<+  
Replace string: (

and the other one with  
Search string: \>+  
Replace string: )
