Answer 1

Try something like the following:

DECLARE
  mystring VARCHAR2(200) := 'abc/dd/<parm1>kkk<parm2>.T<parm3>';
BEGIN
  DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Before parameter replacement, mystring=''' ||
                       mystring || '''');

  FOR aRow IN (SELECT parm, value FROM SOME_VIEW) LOOP
    mystring := REPLACE(mystring, '<' || aRow.parm || '>', aRow.value);
  END LOOP;  -- aRow

  DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('After parameter replacement, mystring=''' ||
                       mystring || '''');
END;
