Now this is where the power of the raw text file comes into play. I
suggest you look at 'grep' which is a standard text utility in linux,
and will allow you to filter your schematics. You will probably need
some context (-A/-B/-C) in your grep command to give you all the
important information, but you can then process this to give you your list.

If you need some help, drop me a line.

Best regards,

Michael.
