Search String in File List
Hi,

I have a list of files which can be identified as abcd*.xml where * represent multiple timestamps for multiple files.

I need to do following checks

1. Find number of files (which we get by doing following)
Code:
FILECOUNT=`ls -ltr /dir/abcd*.xml | wc -l`

2. If check 1 gives '1' as output then we have to do a Second check, which is to find if that one XML file contains below string ot not.
Code:
<ns1:TotalRecordCount>0</ns1:TotalRecordCount>

Thus I am looking for a Unix command to see if this string exists in that XML file or not.
Please help with this search command, and also how do I get the search output into a variable which I can use further in code in conditional statements.

Thanks

hwloc-assembler

HWLOC-ASSEMBLER(1)						       hwloc							HWLOC-ASSEMBLER(1)

NAME

       hwloc-assembler - Assemble multiple XML topologies

SYNOPSIS

       hwloc-assembler [options] output.xml [--name <name1>] input1.xml [--name <name2>] input2.xml ...

OPTIONS

       -n --name <name>
	      Set <name> in the AssemblerName info attribute of the next input topology root to ease identification within the final global topol-
	      ogy.

       -f --force
	      Ignore errors while reading input files.

       -v --verbose
	      Verbose messages.

DESCRIPTION

       hwloc-assembler combines the input XML topologies and exports the resulting global topologies to a new XML file.  All inputs are  inserting
       as children of the global root object.  Each input topology root is annotated with info attributes before insertion.  AssemblerIndex is set
       to the index within the list of inputs.	AssemblerName is set to the name given with --name if any.  hwloc-assembler-remote offers a  fron-
       tend for assembling remote nodes topologies without having to manually gather and transfer each of them.

EXAMPLES

       To assemble two nodes topologies:

	   $ hwloc-assembler output.xml --name host1 host1.xml --name host2 host2.xml

RETURN VALUE

       Upon successful execution, hwloc-assembler returns 0.

       hwloc-assembler will return nonzero if any kind of error occurs, such as (but not limited to) failure to parse the command line.
