yordan 10 Report post Posted July 31, 2019 I would ike to know which Excel file in a given folder contains the word "Alligator". Or course, the same problem occurs if I am looking for another word, "bird" or "hammer", and want to know in which .docx file it is. Of course, I could open each Excel file or each Microsoft Word file and look whether this word is present or not. However, I have a lot of such files, and I would really know in which file I was talking about alligators. And unfortunately, wingrep does not grep inside binary files. Does somebody have an idea?

zorba4 0 Report post Posted August 5, 2019 Nobody has the answer ? I also have this problem, with my Microsoft Word .docx files. I know I wrote something about testing the "lparstat" command usage and examples, but I don't remember in which document I wrote this. I will try wingrep with the zip option, but I'm almost sure that excel and word files are binary files but aren't zipped files. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
