Can I suggest giving an example of what you do or don't want to match? Because I'd suggest that an XML that doesn't start with < isn't actually XML at all, it's just something that looks a bit like it.

are you tied town to grep only, or is piping it through head an option? If so it's a piece of cake to just loop over all files and check for an unsuccessful grep after head -n 1 and then print the file name.

| Jul 22, 2015 at 7:41 | comment | added | Chris Davies | What are your criteria for identifying "all xml files"? Are you assuming *.xml | |
