May be can write a script and call it from tmsh, if you know the full path to the data-group.

proc script::run {} {
    set fp [open "/config/filestore/files_d/Common_d/data_group_d/:Common:dg1_46552_3" r]

    while { [gets $fp data] >= 0 } {

    }

}

    oh gosh, this is terrible. this means you have to know where it is storing these files. it would be far better if the tmsh command provided a way for it to list the content like it will for the GUI.. if it does it for the GUI, it should provide the same via TMSH.
