I have a folder full of custom eye colours. I'd like to find the one that has a specific value in the family dtString without opening every file individually. Is this possible?

I added the folder to the SimPE filetable but I haven't had any luck with the Scenegraph Resource Finder.

If the files are not compressed, you can search over the packages with your file manager, which should have an option for "search text within files" (or something like that). Because the sims compression is poor, there might still be a substring in plain text that is searchable. To permit this in the future, I would never use compression on small text files.

If your Package has numerous resources in it, you can extract them all to a folder and use the search feature on these temporary files. I use this method to search for strings in Objects.

Unfortunately, most of them came pre-compressed. What I did was run ccmerger over set of eyes, uncompress everything, then delete everything except the XTOLs. This created 'index' files that i can search with Agent Ransack which lets me narrow down which set of eyes I need to look through.

I'm now going through the package files and uncompressing all the XTOLs. I hope this doesn't cause any issues with mixed compression that I've heard of in the past.

Do a Property Set Search and in the Custom Type (opt): box type in (copy & paste from here) 0x2C1FD8A1, fill in the Custom Field (opt): if you can as that will make the search much faster.

The Property Set Search uses the CPF Editor to search through the files and will only search property sets if the Custom Type (opt): is left untouched but can search any of the file types that the CPF Editor can read which include:
