If you are looking for a Perl solution see File::Find::Rule, otherwise see find. Martin	[reply]

If you are looking for a Perl solution see File::Find::Rule The File-Find-Rule-XPath module is even designed for exactly this type of search.	[reply]

On executing the command I got message like this `-bash: /bin/grep: Argument list too long`	[reply] [d/l]

Probably because you have too many XML files that contain `<book></book>`. Look into xargs, or the - option for grep. `$ find /path -name '.xml' -exec grep 'pattern1' {} /dev/null \; \| cut -d: -f1 \| grep 'pattern2' -` `print pack("A25",pack("V",map{1919242272+$_}(34481450,-49737472,6228,0,-285028276,6979,-1380265972)))`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Well that's probably because the argument list is too long ;) You can write a simple bash loop to get around this; `for i in $(find . -type f -name ".xml" -print -exec grep -i '<book></ +book>' {} \;);do grep -i "<name=>.Sydney.*" $i && echo $i;done` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
