I think this should be simple, but I must have been dancing all around
the answer for the last couple of hours.
I want to match any single occurrence of the character ">" at the
beginning of a line, but want to ignore any occurences where there are
multiple instances of the same character in sequence, like ">>>".
I thought something like this would be in the ballpark:
^>{1}?
or something even simpler like:
^>
. . .but as I'm sure all grep experts reading this know by now, these
still match the first occurence on every line, even in the ">>" or
">>>>" instances I want to avoid.
Any suggestions?
