XML grep tool

[Dirk Segelhorst]

Hi,

I am looking for an efficient XML grep tool (similar to UNIX grep) for XPath search in big XML documents. The tools I found are not what I actually need:

- xmlgrep (http://www.tfi-technology.com/xmlgrep/ Seems to be a dead and removed project.

- fxgrep: A UNIX project. I have downloaded a SML compiler for windows to get it run but it did not work to compile the sources.

- sggrep (LTxml toolkit, http://www.ltg.ed.ac.uk): Exactly what I am searching for: fast and running under Windows. But neither the complete XPath 1.0 specification nor XPath 2.0 is supported.

Is there any XML grep tool...
1.) running under windows,
2.) supporting Xpath 1.0/2.0 and
3.) being fast enough for bigger files (~10 MB)?

Thanks,

Dirk
