Re: [libreoffice-users] Filter for 'show only lines containing <string> ?

Hi :)
Sorry you have not had a reply!

Would this be easier on the command-line?  ie something scriptable?  As you
probably know ODF files, such as .Odt or .Ods, are zipped containers
containing Xml files.  Apparently the Xml files, such as "Contents.xml" can
be parsed by command-line tools such as "grep".  I have no idea how to do
this though! :(

There was a turgid thread several months ago, maybe a year ago, but i don't
think we got to a neat and suitable answer for the person asking (i think
they were using Windows and needed a gui).


There might be an Extension/add-on/plug-in for something like this.
Regards from
Tom :)
