I am trying to match a string that containing the "<" and ">"
characters, using the string contains function, but it never seems to
find the lines containing the string

e.g if mystring.contains("<TAG>") :

I can't locate a 'contains' function anywhere, what type is 'mystring'?

Do I need to escape the characters...and if so how?

Maybe. Please provide some example code that unexpectedly fails.
