You should try thing instead:-

Response.Write(Server.HTMLEncode(strEx))

This will correctly escape characters that have meaning to HTML.

By ignore, do you mean remove? If so try this:

strEx = replace("<10 days", "<", "")

Or if you'd like to write your string on to a webpage, you can encode the < to have it outputted correctly:

strEx = replace("<10 days", "<", "&lt;")
