Can one open an idcl file with a text editor?

[Anonymous]

I want to take a look at what's inside. I'm looking for a way to get all the files in the content library in a string based list, doesn't seem to be a way to do that via VBA afaik.

The simplest way to answer this question would be to go ahead and try it, right?  What do you see?

If anyone else stumbles over this, seems like .idcl is a SQLite file. I've just started using SQLite Administrator to look into it.

Yes the .idcl are in a SQLITE version.  You may want to install Vault basic with SQL Express and have vault manage the content center libraries.   You may be able to use the SQL interface to achieve what you're looking for.
