You might want to look at the two "Search and Replace" quick templates
in The Bat! Macro and Solutions Library,
http://cgi.marck.free-online.co.uk/library.php and copy (and possibly
adapt) one of them for your requirement.

Then you could write a template that would include (%Qinclude) the
Search and Replace template three times.

        The first time you would use the Search and Replace template
        to change all occurrences of ">> " (without the quotes of
        course) to something unlikely ever to be in the text, perhaps
        "~~ ".

        The second time you would delete all occurrences of ">" by
        changing them to "" (no character at all).

        The third time you would change all occupancies of "~~ " to
        "> ".

        

        


Using: The Bat! v2.12.00, BayesIt! 0.5.9,
       MyMacros 1.11, gMacrosPlugin 0.80
       Windows XP v5.1 - Build 2600 - Service Pack 2
