Hi! You don't need to know the tiddlers' names, just use forEachTiddlerPlugin (1), it lets you search by text, title or tags and also output exactly what you need. Plus, you can use scripts. Anyway, seeing an example of your file would help us get a better understanding of your problem. And of course a sample of your grep commands would help as well.
