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.

If you wished you could make a script that unziped it and searched the content.xml file. Is that what you wished?

Hi
Well yes that in a way answers a few question on why i can't use the grep function on openoffice.odt files.I see you mention .XML files what about using grep to search them if yes how??.
XML file are these kinda web files??. Remember i am new to all of this i am still in the process of learning.
Thanks
