I did this iterative thing where I scanned all the source members for
certain 'words' that were in another file. If I found the word(s), I
wrote out the lines (and the name of the member and stuff) to yet
another file. You could then query it or whatever. I'll send it to you
if you want. It will take me a couple of days though.
