I have a output string something like this

开发者_开发技巧

<*>$<@>%<#

I need a extension method for this string as Input

and I need to ass a Space after each > < simbol.

Ouput should be

< *> $< @> %< #

i need to out put something like this. I need to make sure allways one Space after < > symbol..

Ex: if I get something like this as input < $ i need to leave it as it is...only one space need to be added.

Can any body help me out how to do this?
