/*
files = Dir["E:/test/foobar/scripts/**/*.xml"]
matches = files.inject(0) {|sum,f| sum + File.read(f).scan('<if>').size}
printf "%10d matches\n%10d files\n", matches, files.size

If you have a lot of files it may pay off to use Find.find instead of
Dir[].

thanks, works like a charm :-)
Never used  the inject method until now, i'm still on newbie level.
