Retrieving notes

Hi everyone,

Up until now I used the native Notes application in Mavericks for all my note-taking purposes. But now my HDD crashed and I'd like nonetheless to retrieve the Notes content before the hard drive definitely lets me down.
I can hook it up to another computer, but I'm not sure where I can find the Notes content ? Furthermore, what program other than Notes can read them? Supposing I'd read them on a Windows or Linux.

Thanks !

 

Thanks, I also googled this and found the same page. However, I have no "Container" folder, so that's probably not the right answer in my case.
