Hope this works for you... Slight modification from your solution:
Explanation :
1. s/\(<[^>]*>\)\([^>]*\)\(<[^>]*>\)/\1\n\2\3/g
This replaces like <MY_BIG_TAG>\nThis_is_a_test<MY_BIG_TAG>
2. starts loop
3. After \n till < arrives, substitute all underscore to _Q
4. Again checks if the same pattern appears, if it is, go through the loop again.
5. Atlast replace \n with the empty ( which we replaced in line 1).

Hi there,
A total sed noob here. Is there a way using sed to delete everything before a character AND after another character on each line in a file? The deletion should also delete the indicating characters(here: an opening and a closing parenthesis).
The original file would look like... (3 Replies)
