====== Check an XML file to see if it is well-formed ======
\\
This Python script will check a file (or all files in a directory tree) to verify that it/they contain well-formed XML.

<file python xmlchecker.py>

import string
import sys
from xml.dom.minidom import parse, parseString

	try:
		dom1 = parse(fileName)

		if sys.argv[1] != '-rq':
			print fileName + ' is OK'

	except Exception as ex:
		print fileName + ': ' + str(ex)

	for root, subFolders, files in os.walk('.'): 
		for file in files: 
			fullFileName = os.path.join(root,file)
			fileName,fileExt = os.path.splitext(fullFileName)
			if fileExt == '.xml' or fileExt == '.config' or fileExt == '.build':
				CheckFile(fullFileName)
