trieing to find a map inside of raw files

I do stuff and thingies... Try widening and reducing the number of small nooks and crannies to correct the problem.

To repair my vista, I had to reset my computer to the factory settings which led to a data loss of 240 gig (format).
8 gig were overwritten with new files.
I managed to create many raw files now which have a signature of "4D 50 51 1A 20 00 00 00" or in other words "MPQ. ...".
In the raw files I have many MPQs (which include maps) now and some other files.

Now I'm trying to find a special map.
file name, time stamp and everthing else is lost.

I need to search a phrase within the HEX code of all that files (got a program that can do that).
But I don't know what I could use for that phrase.

I would suggest to use a string or a unitname to find the file. But I cannot see that data directly inside the code.
Maybe searching for a special trigger would work, too, since I have an older version of that.

Is somebody able to help me?

found it with opening all chk files inside of the valid mpqs. Bad method :( but worked :)
