VSD Indexing System

J

Jonathan

I posted this request in the Visio group but maybe a general office macro
might be able to help here. This is the post I left in the Visio group.....
keeping my fingures crossed!

We have a file share with 1000s of vsd file and I want to build a simple
very basic index. I have a set of pattern matching criteria I want to run
against all vsd files in this share to catpture particular text strings
within the vsd diagram. Then I want this string and the UNC name of the file
to be output to some other output file, excel would be nice but a txt file
would also work.

For example if I was to search for the name Jon in a vsd doc the output
would show: -

Jon c:\visio docs\structure chart.vsd

I'm using this in a far more technical context but the example sums up my
requirements.

Any ideas please guys?

I could script this quite easily if I could find a CLI tool that could
search the txt strings in a visio. If you know of such a tool that could help!
