How to prevent getting an error using brackets < > in a regular expression while creating a dashboard view in XML?

[lksridhar]

I am using a regular expression to filter results for a drop-down created for a dashboard. I'm using xml to develop the dashboard and it seems values under this bracket < > are not allowed for use in xml. While saving the xml, I'm getting the following pop up:

 "Encountered the following error while trying to update: In handler "views" error parsing xml on line 140: Premature end of data in tag view line 1"

Please suggest if any other way I can achieve below and provide me some example.

<param name="search"> index=web="/a/b/c/d/resolvetransactionservices.log" TransactionSearchController OR TransactionSearchDelegateImpl | transaction startswith="Entered Search Transaction(s)" )"  | rex field=_raw ", Integer=\[(?<Integer>\d+)\]" | rex "=\s+(?<seconds>[\d\.]+)"

Replace the brackets with their HTML versions, < becomes < and > becomes >. Here is the segment of your example code that should be changed.

Integer=\[(?<Integer>\d+)\]" | rex "=\s+(?<seconds>[\d\.]+)
