Strings 2.21

Strings - Search for ANSI and UNICODE strings in binary images Working on NT and Win2K means that executables and object files will many times have embedded UNICODE strings that you cannot easily see with a standard ASCII strings or grep programs. So we decided to roll our own.
Strings is a command-line applet that scans the file you pass for UNICODE (or ASCII) strings of a default length of 3 or more UNICODE (or ASCII) characters. Note that it works under Windows 95 as well.
Usage: strings [-s] [-a] [-u] [-n X]
Strings takes wild-card expressions for file names, and additional command line parameters are defined as follows:
-s
Recurse subdirectories.
-a
Scan for ASCII only
-u
Scan for UNICODE only
-n X
Strings must be a minimum of X characters in length.
To search one or more files for the presence of a particular string using strings use a command like this:
strings * | findstr /i TextToSearchFor
