Error How to enter a newline after every XML tag end?

Hi Guyz,

I have an XML message in following format:
Quote:
<ABC>Hello</ABC><BCD>How r u?</BCD><CDE>GOD Bless u</CDE>
I want my contents to be formatted in following order:
Quote:
<ABC>Hello</ABC>
<BCD>How r u?</BCD>
<CDE>GOD Bless u</CDE>
i.e. I want a newline after every XML tag end.
How to do this?

Thnx in advance.

Code:
echo '<ABC>Hello</ABC><BCD>How r u?</BCD><CDE>GOD Bless u</CDE>' |sed 's/<\/[^>]*>/&\n/g'

Code:
echo '<ABC>Hello</ABC><BCD>How r u?</BCD><CDE>GOD Bless u</CDE>' |sed 's/<\/[^>]*>/&\n/g'

Oops! it gave me alphabet n after every tag end.

I tried following:
Code:
echo '<ABC>Hello</ABC><BCD>How r u?</BCD><CDE>GOD Bless u</CDE>' |sed 's/<\/[^>]*>/&/\n/g'

I also tried:
Code:
echo '<ABC>Hello</ABC><BCD>How r u?</BCD><CDE>GOD Bless u</CDE>' |sed 's/<\/[^>]*>/&\\n/g'

But, it gave me '\n' after every tag end.
