Hey...that worked. I actually modified:
for m in re.finditer("([\x20-\x7f]{4,})[\n\0]", text):
to
for m in re.finditer("([\x20-\x7f]{4,})", text):
and now the output is nearly identical to 'strings'. One problem
exists, in that if the binary file contains a string
"monkey/chicken/dog/cat" it is printed as "mokey//chicken//dog//cat",
and I don't know enough to figure out where the extra "/" is coming
from.
Help?
