That is almost it!!! The result though does not put in the ampersands. Instead it puts rstq_b in its place. I tried doing \&\& to escape and got the same result. I am researching how to print a & in the sub command but if you know feel free to post.
Thanks again for the help!!

hxunent
HXUNENT(1) HTML-XML-utils HXUNENT(1)
NAME
hxunent - replace HTML predefined character entities by UTF-8
SYNOPSIS
hxunent [ -b ] [ -f ] [ file ]
DESCRIPTION
The hxunent command reads the file (or standard input) and copies it to standard output with &-entities by their equivalent character
(encoded as UTF-8). E.g., " is replaced by " and < is replaced by <.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-b The five builtin entities of XML (< > " ' &) are not replaced but copied unchanged. This is necessary if the
output has to be valid XML or SGML.
-f This option changes how unknown entities or lone ampersands are handled. Normally they are copied unchanged, but this option
tries to "fix" them by replacing ampersands by &. Often such stray ampersands are the result of copy and paste of URLs into a
document and then this option indeed fixes them and makes the document valid.
DIAGNOSTICS
The program's exit value is 0 if all went well, otherwise:
1 The input couldn't be read (file not found, file not readable...)
2 Wrong command line arguments.
SEE ALSO
asc2xml(1), xml2asc(1), UTF-8 (RFC 2279)
BUGS
The program assumes entities are as defined by HTML. It doesn't read a document's DTD to find the actual definitions in use in a document.
With -f, it will even remove all entities that are not HTML entities.
