Sed command to clean xml tag
Hi,
Can someone help me come up with a generic sed command to clean a tag off its attributes?

For eg.
Input String - <tag attrib=new>This String</tag>
should undergo a sed transformation to get
Output String - <tag >This String</tag>

This works -
echo "<tag attrib=new>This</tag>" | sed -e 's/\([^<\/A-Za-z]\)[^>]*>/\1>/g'

<tag >This</tag>

However, the moment i add a space in there - it goes for a toss
echo "<tag attrib=new>This String</tag>" | sed -e 's/\([^<\/A-Za-z]\)[^>]*>/\1>/g'

<tag >This >

Resolved the above issue using a single replace -
echo "<tag attrib=new>This String</tag>" | sed -e 's/\([^<\/A-Za-z]\)[^>]*>/\1>/'

<tag >This String</tag>

However, it does not handle the scenario -
echo " <tag attrib=new>This String</tag>" | sed -e 's/\([^<\/A-Za-z]\)[^>]*>/\1>/'

>This String</tag>


Any inputs on this will be of great help.
