XML Search Description

Did you ever need to find specific text inside an XML file? Or did you ever need to identify, in a set of XML files, those containing a specific text? If yes, probably you used some kind of "multiple file search" utility, or simply the operating system "Search" feature, able to locate files containing a given text string. This is obviously a suitable solution for many cases. But... what about looking for specific text appearing in specific locations of the XML structure? For example: if you need to identify XML files containing a string inside a particular attribute value and *not* somewhere else, a generic text search tool becomes useless.The XML Search application was developed to be a small tool that addresses this problem, implementing a multiple XML file search mechanism that takes care of the XML file structure.The XML Search utility is very simple: given an "input" folder, it looks for XML files in that folder (and eventually subfolders), loading them - one by one - into an XmlDocument object, and looking for specific elements that match the search criteria you specified. The search outcome is a list of the successfully matching files, with the matching XML fragment highlighted.
