STRINGS OS9/MSDOS STRINGS
NAME
Strings - find and print ASCII strings in a binary file
SYNOPSIS
Strings [n] filename
DESCRIPTION
Strings will read 'filename' looking for ASCII strings of
at least 'n' characters in length. The default for 'n' is
three characters. When found, it is printed, prceded by
its offset location in the file (in hexadecimal). This is
very useful for locating ASCII constants (filenames, etc.)
in binary files for purposes of patching.
EXAMPLES
Strings 6 /dd/cmds/strings
SEE ALSO
N/A
BUGS
Strings has no way of determining if an ASCII string is
coherent.
