delete to end of line with SED
I have a file with a bunch of similar lines in which I want to extract a phrase delimited by the first occurance of a '>' at the beginning and the first occurance of a '<' at the end (you might have guessed these are beginning/end of HTML tags). Using Sed I have managed to delete up to and including th first '>'. Now I want to delete from the '<' to the end of each line.
e.g.
Good Text<extraneous characters
I want to delete the '<extraneous characters' part.
Any suggestions?

xfm_mailcap
XFM_MAILCAP(5) XFM XFM_MAILCAP(5)
NAME
xfm_mailcap - mailcap information for usage within xfm or xfmmailcap
DESCRIPTION
To determine what command to use to open a file with a specific mime type, xfm(1) uses files in a format similar to the mailcap format.
The extensions are special actions to open directories or files to load into the application window and to include other mailcap files, so
that the default mailcap databases in ~/.mailcap, /etc/mailcap, /usr/share/etc/mailcap and /usr/local/etc/mailcap can be included.
This man page describes which fields are used and the extensions. For general information of the syntax of these files read the man pages
mailcap(5) and update-mime(8).
While this files are supposed to be read by xfm(1), there also is the program xfmmailcap(1) to ease debugging.
GENERAL FORMAT
There is one entry per line. Empty lines and lines starting with a hash (#) are ignored. Each line consists of parts separated by semi-
colons (;). The first part is the mime part or the token include. The second part is the view option. This is followed by an arbitrary
number of option names, followed by a value after a equal sign, if they have a value.
INCLUDES
Lines with a mime-type include or !include are not treated as mailcap specifiers, but cause the filename described by the second argument
to be read at this place. I recommend placing the following line at the end of every $HOME/.xfm/xfm_mailcap file:
include; /etc/X11/xfm/mailcap
OPTIONS USED BY XFM
test The value of this option (after unescaping) is executed using system(3). If it fails, the content of the line is not used for any-
thing but increasing the amount of output. Some tests weather a DISPLAY environment variable are set are omitted and considered
always true.
nametemplate
If this option has a value, the filename has to match it when a action is executed. Otherwise it is replaced by a symlink matching
it. It has to contain exactly one unescaped occurrence of %s, which is used as wild card for any positive number of characters.
edit This is the preferred action to open a file. Unless it is one of the special actions explained below, it has to contain exactly one
unescaped occurance of %s, which is replaced by the filename to open, or the filename of a symlink to the file to open in the case
the filename might be dangerous or does not match the nametemplate of this line.
needsterminal
If this option, which normally has no value, is there, the actions specified in this line are executed in an X terminal emulator.
SPECIAL ACTIONS
If the action with the highest priority is one the special strings OPEN or LOAD, no shell is spawned and no command executed. Instead the
current file window is changed to the selected directory (OPEN) or the file is supposed to be in the xfm(5) format and loaded into the
application window(LOAD).
FILES
$HOME/.xfm/xfm_mailcap
Unless xfm(1) is told to look at a different place via X resource Xfm.mailcapFile, this is the first place xfm looks for a file with
the describes format. xfmmailcap(1) always looks here first.
/etc/X11/xfm/xfm_mailcap
If the first file does not exists, xfm(1) (unless it gets told a different place via the X resource Xfm.systemwideMailcapFile) and
xfmmailcap(1) look for this file. It is recommended that the file in the home directory includes this file to get the system wide
defaults.
