I had to combine the two commands: "find src -name '.svn' -prune -o -name '*.xml' -print | xargs grep -E 'xyz' > xyz.txt" As usual, if you omit the "> xyz.txt" the output goes to the screen instead of the text file. (Fortunately Cygwin has a repeat command function). Perhaps this command could be of some use to others. Thanks to you and to Julien.
