Hi Ulf
My wish was to sort out and list all xml files containing the word "xyz" 
(or whatever) in the src directory except for the files in the .svn 
folders.
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.
