Thanks for the reply ebm, but a bit of hacking about produced the following code. Looking at the file in a hex editor revealed that the paths are stored in plain text.

One of the benefits of our ad prod system is that everything Art wise would be prefaced by "AdArt". I would assume that you could just as easily write the regex below to look for ".eps .tif" etc...

Das Code: 

#! /bin/perl -w
##########################################################
# Get linked Art
# Finds out what art a QXD is using
##########################################################
$filename = $ARGV[0];

@quark_data = `strings $filename`;
@usage = parseUsage(@quark_data);
@usage = trim_path(@usage);
printArr(@usage);

sub trim_path {
my @trimmed;
    for (@_) {
        $_ =~ /AdArt\:.*\.low/;
        push @trimmed, $&;        
        }
    return @trimmed;
}

sub printArr {
    my $n = 0;
    foreach (@_) {print $n++.": $_\n"};        
}

sub parseUsage {
my @winners;
    for (@_) {
        /AdArt/ && do {push @winners, $_;};
        }
    return @winners;
    }

I'm assuming that this would even work under windows provided you downloaded Gnu strings from the gnerds. Would probably make a nice module if I made it a bit less specific to my application.

Thanks!
