Search for a string in a collection of dlls

Question

We have a number of dlls in a single directory. Most, but not all, are C++ resource dlls only. These dlls can be opened in Visual Studio for a "visual" inspection (you can see the "String Table").

Here's the scenario, we are looking for a particular string but we don't which DLL contains the string. Is there a tool that we can use that will perform a string search on DLLs?

Thanks!

You can use the findstr command to search strings in several files.
