string / split method on ASCII code?

[Michael Wieher]

Hey all,

I have these annoying textilfes that are delimited by the ASCII char for <<
(only its a single character) and >> (again a single character)

Their codes are 174 and 175, respectively.

My datafiles are in the moronic form

X<<Y>>Z

I need to split on those freaking characters.  Any tips on how to make split
work with these things?
