Regex: Replace character between two strings (excluding the strings themselves) using sed

Question

I have a minor problem. I want to replace a character/single string between two strings but would like to leave the strings themselves "unharmed" by using sed .

The input is:

<hello> <world>

My desired output:

<hello>
<world>

My first attempt:

echo "<hello> <world>" | sed 's/>.</\n/g'

The output of it:

<hello
world>

As you can see, the ">" from "" and the "<" from "" have been removed by using my line above.

How do I prevent it from doing so?

Answer 1

这个也可以：

echo "<hello> <world>" | sed 's/>./>\n/g'

Answer 2

Instead use:

echo "<hello> <world>" | sed 's/>.</>\n</g'

This is possible all the characters you are replacing are static.
