If I run the code:

""" <Results xsi:type="xsd:string" 

    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">Updated User 

        id:nish.test11</Results>""".replaceAll( /<\/?[^<>]>/, '' ).replaceAll( /[\n\s]+/, ' ' )

it gives me 

Updated User id:nish.test11

as output

As the content looks like an XML, 

def xml = """
 <Results xsi:type="xsd:string" 
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">Updated User 
    id:nish.test11</Results>  
"""

it's better to use XmlSlurper than parsing/extracting strings by hand

def result = new XmlSlurper().parseText(xml)            

println result.toString()

this gives the desired result (the content of the Result)
