Thanks, that was one of the articles that I already read. To utilize grep I need to already know the name of the application to check :( That could still be tried, because I can get a list of all applications installed. I didn't try trying to grep one by one (thinking performance basically).

At this moment, I have some sort of solution (please check my reply to Rick).
