I am looking to combine less ('<') or more ('>') characters in a file using sed. I only want to combine one character
My goal is to replace them with ' <'and '> '(make sure they have free space around them so that I can easily analyze them).
For example, it will match: (without spaces in tags)
< p >Hey this is a paragraph.< /p >< p >And here is another.< /p >
.. and turn it on (note the spaces)
< p > Hey this is a paragraph. < /p > < p > And here is another. < /p >
Here is what my initial (wrong) guess was:
sed 's/<{1}|>{1}/ <> /' ...
It matches the entire word / line, which is undesirable, and it is also not replaced correctly.
Anyway, any help would be appreciated! Thank!
