Fellow Forum Members,

I am using the latest version of NotePad++ and I have done a search for illegal XML symbols such as "&", ">", "<", "©" among 200 separate XML files. I found a couple of illegal XML characters using a standard search however this did not find all of them. In short, there are some straggling illegal XML characters hiding somewhere among the 200 XML text files and I need to find them or else I am doomed.

Is there anyway possible I could use NotePad++ so it automatically finds for me illegal XML Characters among 200 separate XML files? Will a RegEx do the trick? If I could get my NotePad++ to accomplish such a task it will help me find that needle in a haystack that is ruining the XML code for my PDF publication that derives from 200 separate XML files.

Any help will be tremendously appreciated. Thank you in advance.

If you have the XML Tools plugin, you can use the Plugins\Xml Tools\Check Xml Syntax Now option to see where the xml goes wrong.
