This might help you Search for a < or > other than the first/last non-whitespace char which should be angle brackets.

code :

grep '^\s*<.*[<>].*>\s*'

grep '^\s*<.*[<>].*>\s*' << EOF
>  <instrument F001="6-A-1046" INSTRUMENT_ID="<xyz>" >
>   <field fieldname="CUR007" value="<EUR>"/>
>   <field fieldname="C207" value="2023-01-11"/>
>   <field fieldname="INS160" value="0"/>
>   <field fieldname="PRD013" value="1020"/>
>   <field fieldname="PRD150" value="0"/>
>   <field fieldname="PRD205" value="0"/>
>  </instrument>
> EOF

<instrument F001="6-A-1046" INSTRUMENT_ID="<xyz>" >
 <field fieldname="CUR007" value="<EUR>"/>

hop of those help? Since you did not put *html in quotes, the shell expands your command to

code :

ls | grep -v a.html b.html

grep -v "a.html" b.html

ls | grep -v "html$"
# Note that html$ is the regexp equivalent to the shell pattern *html

shopt -s extglob # turn on extended globbing
ls -d !(*html)

around this issue grep -f is for file containing the patterns.
You cannot call grep -f '^-' because it will not take the '^-' as pattern, but as file name

code :

a
abc
abcd
fbdf

it should still fix some issue Tested on GNU sed, syntax/feature might vary with other implementations

it helps some times You could use a negative lookahead asserting what is on the right is not only uppercase chars with possible horizontal whitespace chars.

code :

^(?![A-Z\h]+$)\h*(?:\S\h*){13,}$
