I use Dreamweaver...you wouldn't happen to know if that tool would work or if there are any raw tools on my Unix box to do the same thing would you? I think venturing off and installing new software makes me lean towards letting the corrupted files surface as I encounter them. Just looking for a quick use of the grep command. Thanks for your suggestion
