Search for text in Coreldraw files

[Chris J Anderson]

Hi to All,

Does anyone have any ideas on how to search coreldraw files for text, when the files are closed ?
Such as a general Windows search ?

I have some software called 'Search' by Sadman Software, which is awesome, but it only searches text based files.
I have tried it on Corel files, and it won't work. Eg: If I have text in a corel file, say "Hello", the text Hello is not anywhere obvious in the file, I've tried by renaming to txt and had a look / search.

I have hundreds of files containing drawings of electrical plates, and I would love to be able to search inside corel files for text on those plates.

Any help appreciated...

Cheers,
Chris
