There are a couple of reasons why this does not work. First and foremost: since
your replacement text contains '/', you should use a text separator different
from '/' like
s#foo#bar#g
If I remember correctly < and > are also special (have to look that up) and you
should escape them: \< and \>.
Finally, this would only work on a consecutive text without newlines and I think
that is not what you have in mind.
Look up the c command in sed, because I think that is what you need. This lets
you replace a couple of lines with a couple of other lines.
