Help needed - Replacing all date & time occurrences in a file with a string using Sed

Hi,
I am new to using Sed. I have a file containg lines like the following:

INFORM----Test.pc:168:10/11/05 12:34:26 > some text goes here..

TRACE-----Test.pc:197:10/11/05 12:34:26 > some text goes here..

My requirement is to replace 10/11/05 12:34:26 with a string <RUNDATE> (including < & >).

Can anyone help me how to acheive this using Sed? I need this urgently..

I have tried this:
cat test.result | sed -e 's/[A-Z,a-z,-,_]\.pc[0-9,-,_]/\[A-Z,a-z,-,_]\.pc\<RUNDATE\>/' > test.result.tmp

But, it's not working.
