Hi Markus,
: The "strings" tool in the GNU binutils-2.11.2 could only find strings
: consisting of 8-bit characters. Therefore it was not useable to find
: 16-bit Unicode strings in Win32 EXE files or 32-bit wchar_t strings in
: GNU/Linux binaries. The patch below adds a new option -e with which
: strings can now also be used to locate 16/32-bit strings, both big
: and little endian. I found that little extension extremely useful and
: therefore hope you can add it to strings in the next binutils
: release.
Thanks very much for submitting this patch.
It has now been accepted and applied to the binutils sources and
should appear in the next major release.
Cheers
Nick
