Hi, RobiNew! "<" and ">" are special chars that denote something different from their literal meanings under WildCard search (that is, they have special meanings, which are the start and end of a word), so, if you want to find them with their literal meaning, not special, use a backslash before each of them:
.text = "(\</body\>)" & Chr(13)
Some other special chars are *([)])!?#@
