  ......

  Generate translation ids of all message names in chromium_strings.grd

  $ tranid chromium_strings.grd IDS_PRODUCT_NAME IDS_TASK_MANAGER_TITLE IDS_SETTINGS_ABOUT_PROGRAM
  IDS_PRODUCT_NAME 7337881442233988129
  IDS_TASK_MANAGER_TITLE 7223968959479464213

• Given translation id, find corresponding message names:

  $ tranid chromium_strings.grd 7337881442233988129
  IDS_PRODUCT_NAME 7337881442233988129
  IDS_SHORT_PRODUCT_NAME 7337881442233988129
  IDS_ACCNAME_APP 7337881442233988129

As Nodejs Module

const {tranid} = require('tranid')
const FS = require('fs')
 
FS.readFile('generated_resources.grd', 'utf8', function(err, data) {
  if (err)
    throw err
 
  // usage: tranid(grd_content, message_names or translation_ids)
  const [list, parts] = tranid(data, ['IDS_PRODUCT_NAME', 'IDS_TASK_MANAGER_TITLE'])
  for (const [name, tid] of list) {
    console.log(`${name} ${tid}`)
  }
  if (parts.length > 0) {
    console.log(`found part files: ${parts}`)
  }
