I've toyed a little bit with the idea of a grep(/addition to the RE engine) for XML, which can take flags like this word should be part of an attribute name, return the element name.

Some kind of diff would be a (hrm..) simple extension of the idea.

I didn't think it would be that interesting, but here it would find a use. (-: I have a too big hobby module already, anyway. :-)

Update: What I meant was, a grep thing which understood XML syntax and e.g. allow one grep pattern over the value of an attribute and another grep pattern over the CDATA for that same element.

I don't really know what would be useful (I don't really need it for what I am thinking of doing) and I doesn't have time now anyway.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
