Getting variables from MX file

I have saved a number of variables via DumpSave to a MX file called file.mx.

To read the file I have used: Get["file.mx"].

How can I find out what the variable names are that are contained in file.mx inside of a notebook file which already contains other variables?

I have read the I can call e.g. Names["Global`*"], but then all variables are listed.

Can you create a new notebook with another kernel and use Get["file.mx"] and Names["Global`*"] there? – Ray Shadow May 21 '17 at 11:45

Use @Shadowray suggestion, just compare Names["Global`*"] before and after Get. – Kuba May 21 '17 at 12:14
