What's a good way from the Linux command line to quickly dig up invalid XML characters?

For lack of a better term... this is B*** S***! I'm tired of waisting hours looking for one character... crazy.gif

*sigh* anyhow... now that that's over with, anyone got some ideas?

I just open it in a browser, usually. However, running it through any kind of validating processor should give you something useful. The distro I'm on right now (Red Hat WS) has xmllint installed. Don't know what it's packaged with, but it looks like it would do the trick.

It is included with the libxml2 package.
