Hi all,
I need to replace text within HTML tags with a space or a tab. How can
I use sed or any other utility to do this?

My file contains something like:

<Text to be replaced here> some text < text to be repalced here>

The ultimate goal is to have it like this:
< > some text < >

Thanks in advance for any ideas,

BTNA
