[ale] SED question

[Josh Freeman]

Hello ALE'ers

I've got to batch process some HTML files, and I need to make
substitutions of the form
<h2> => foo
</h2> => bar


The expression:

sed s/\<[hH]2\>/foo/g 

takes care of the first one, but I have yet to get an expression to work
for the second case, I would expect:

sed s/\<\\[hH]2\>/bar/g to return bar, but it returns <\h2> instead.

Any ideas. I assume that I am not escaping the '\' correctly, but I
haven't an idea how to do it.

Thanks,

Josh
