@andrewsmhay @bond_alexander Weird, worked for me. Try backwhacking the greater than and less than symbols-- sed 's/\<..\>//g'

@andrewsmhay @bond_alexander What version of sed are you using? Try Perl: perl -pe 's/<..>//g'

@hal_pomeranz now to figure out the ruby equiv so that I can add it to the code :P
