Hi all
I have been trying to find a way to extract the (Summary Data [Meta Data] - The description field to be exact) out of a binary file (Type of file is a solidworks drawing or part file).
I have tried using grep and piping the output to the strings cmd in linux which seems to get me to a certain point (Not quite there but do-able).
After my investigations I found the following.
1. The Description Field does not always occur at the same place in the file
2. There are always 2 occurances of the Description Field in the file at different places.
3. Unfortunately I need to also include the - character in my search which really complicates things.
Ok what am I trying To do ??
I have many folders with drawings and parts and in all these files I have filled in the Description Filed when I have saved the file, Now I am looking to build a script that will search all the files : Outputting the filename with the files description field:
Eg
File Name : Description Field.
Am I going about this the wrong way ?
Appreciate the help
Thanx
S
