Is there a method to replace the greater than and less than symbols
with < and > for processing in an XML file? I had tried to use
sed similar to the following but it does not work:
$ echo "test>1w3" |sed 's/>/>/g'
test>gt;1w3

Perl isn't a toolbox, but a small machine shop where you
can special-order certain sorts of tools at low cost and
in short order. -- Larry Wall

"&" is a special character in the replacement operand of
substitution REs, meaning "what got matched by the match
operand." In this case, that was ">", so ">" becomes
">gt;". You need to escape it to tell sed not to treat it
as a special character:
$ echo "test>1w3" |sed 's/>/\>/g'
test>1w3
