Problems with grep and XML

I'm trying to use grep on XML files. The same grep expressions work on plaint text files but not on XML files (which of course are plain text files). Actually, these expressions work on XML files saved in DreamWeaver, but not when the same files are saved in XML Spy.

I want grep to treat these files as plain text which is what I assumed it would do.

Any pointers?

Thanks,

Paul Smilie

Config::Any::XML(3)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				       Config::Any::XML(3)

NAME
Config::Any::XML - Load XML config files DESCRIPTION
Loads XML files. Example: <config> <name>TestApp</name> <component name="Controller::Foo"> <foo>bar</foo> </component> <model name="Baz"> <qux>xyzzy</qux> </model> </config> METHODS
extensions( ) return an array of valid extensions ("xml"). load( $file ) Attempts to load $file as an XML file. requires_all_of( ) Specifies that this module requires XML::Simple and XML::NamespaceSupport in order to work. CAVEATS
Strict Mode If, by some chance, XML::Simple has already been loaded with the strict flag turned on, then you will likely get errors as warnings will become fatal exceptions and certain arguments to XMLin() will no longer be optional. See XML::Simple's strict mode documentation for more information. AUTHORS
