How can I know what ASM file is connected to what STR2 files?

Sometimes it seems obvious, as the filenames are a dead giveaway. But sometimes, I cannot -for the life of me- find an ASM file that might even be remotely connected to some STR2 files.
As an example: "_a_tb_nw_01_modal.str2_pc" (found in the sr3_city_0.vpp_pc); it has to do with the Trail Blazing Activity. (several other STR2 files are also involved).
It's easy enough to open all respective files and make the necessary changes to make Trail Blazing at Hard and Medium Level easier, but where is the ASM file I need to update? None of the ASM files present in the extracted archive resemble anything that I would -visually- associate with the STR2 files in question.
So how can one find out?
 
You can convert the asm to readable text using Gibbed.SaintsRow3.ConvertASM.exe. Then you can search for your particular str2_pc file.
 
Alright, not so clear as a bell. Do I drag the ASM file onto the application, and if so, where will it output the text file?
If not, is there a special syntax I should use?
 
I never use it since I always just guess with asm file from the archive is needed (and am usually right.) Try running it command line. It should error and show you the correct syntax.
 
Now I know -again- why I hate command line prompts and their parameters. All I ever get are error messages -and they never make any sense. Well, not in my mind anyway. Ah well, it was fun while it lasted.
 
You can also open the asm_pc file in a hex editor and look for the name of the str2_pc file - if it's in there then that's the asm you need to update.
 
If I do it like in the screenshot, would that be the correct way to search for it?
