And same rule is apply for other "< >" . Whole String is not fixed it could be change like that.

Dear < EmployeeList >, welcome to < FreeTextCompany > We wish you a long and prosperous association with us.

So please keep in mind string is not fixed it just a template.

  var start_pos = test_str.indexOf('<') + 1;
            var end_pos = test_str.indexOf('<', start_pos);

here you go:

function replaceString(string, replaceObj) {
   for (var key in replaceObj) {
      string = string.replace(new RegExp(key, 'gi'), replaceObj[key]);
   }

   return string;
}

var replaceObject = {
     '< EmployeeList >' : 'ABC',
     '< DepartmentList >' : 'DepHr',
     '< DateCalendar >' : '12march'
};

var string = 'Dear < EmployeeList >, kindly complete your joining documentation and submit the same to < DepartmentList > latest by < DateCalendar >';

var newString = replaceString(string, replaceObject); // ouput will be: Dear ABC, kindly complete your joining documentation and submit the same to ABC latest by ABC

This is an easy solution:

var textstring = "Dear < EmployeeList >, kindly complete your joining documentation and submit the same to < DepartmentList > latest by < DateCalendar >";

textstring.replace("< EmployeeList >", "ABC");
textstring.replace("< DepartmentList >", "DepHr");
textstring.replace("< DateCalendar >", "12 March");
