So it seems like the Windows shell gets confused by the > and < characters. 

I googled around a bit and it seems like “double quotes” instead of ‘single 
quotes’ might stop the shell from being confused by > and <

I also found this page https://www.robvanderwoude.com/escapechars.php 
<https://www.robvanderwoude.com/escapechars.php> that talks about having to use 
^< and ^> to escape those characters.  Maybe that will help.

In any case, it’s a Windows thing, not ack.

I hope this helps.  Good luck!

Andy
