Re: searching through open-/libreoffice documents

[Juan Sierra Pons <juan@elsotanillo.net>]

Hi

Google is your friend :P

http://forums.opensuse.org/archives/sf-archives/archives-programming-scripting/337622-using-grep-openoffice-files.html

"
The openoffice file (something.odt) is a zip file with a collection of
files that make up the document inside. One of these files is a .XML
file called contents.xml that contains the actual text of your
document.
"

You can create un script to unzip the file and then "grep" the xml content

Best regards

Juan
