That vimgrep command is all right: /\%1l/j means
/ start pattern
\%1l (backslash, percent, one, ell) match only on line one
/ end of pattern
j don't show the file at end of search
Without the j you would be shown the first match (the first line of the
first file), then :cn or :cnf would bring you to the next file, :cprev
or :cpf to the previous one, :cfirst or :clast, well, you guess where.
Then **/*.xml* means «every file which has "dot icks em el" anywhere in
its name at any depth below the current directory».
See also ":help :find".
Best regards,
Tony.
