Question

I have a great bunch of sql server statements that run on sql server 2008
I try to inspect its execution plans.
Actually it generates a great deal of execution plans.
I want to show only the execution plans that have a specific operator(s).
e.g I want to get the execution plans that have Table Scan operator.

Any way to do something like this?

thank you in advance.
