On a windows box using gnu win builds http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/coreutils.htm

This is not actually a .bat file - simply a oneliner to extract the list of tracks - in order - interspersed by any used plugins.

d:\Mirror\bin>cat test\test.als | gunzip | grep "<.*PlugName\|EffectiveName" | sed -e 's/^[\t]*//g'

 <EffectiveName Value="SC SEND" />
 <EffectiveName Value="KICK" />
 <EffectiveName Value="3-Audio" />
<PlugName Value="RoughRider_x64" />
 <EffectiveName Value="6-Kontakt 5" />
 <PlugName Value="Kontakt 5" />
 <EffectiveName Value="8-Bass Fuzzy" />
<EffectiveName Value="Spire-1.1" />
<PlugName Value="Spire-1.1" />

et cetera
Which can be super helpful for finding missing things - or fixing broken projects
