Perhaps your text editor can do "regular expression" search-and-replace?
I mostly use TextPad, and I can find any particular character at the
start of a line ( ^ indicates start of line) and replace it with
anything else. Or in this case, replace it with nothing, which just
makes all the > at the start of lines disappear.
