Filter out private fields from TCX or GPX files

If you dont want n'importe qui (a.k.a. everybody) to see you power or heart rate value of your public Strava activities, just give the log file a nice scrub with sed.

Examples

Removing power from TCX:

sed -i -E "/^ *<Watts>[0-9]*<\/Watts> *$/d" myride.tcx

Removing power from GPX:

sed -i -E "/^ *<power>[0-9]*<\/power> *$/d" myride.gpx

If in doubt, omit the -i flag to inspect the actual output on stdout without having sed changing the file content.
