Hi B9, > "Strings" is a fabulous and under-appreciated program. However, it only works > on text which has a fixed number of bytes per character such as Latin-1 or > UTF-16. Since almost all Unix systems now default to UTF-8 (which can be from > 1 to 6 bytes long), it would be wonderful if strings was updated to handle it. Would you mind opening a bugzilla request for this enhancement ?
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi?product=binutils This will help us track the problem, and provide a suitable place for other people to comment on the issue. If possible, it would also help if you were able to provide a small test file that uses UTF-8 encoding with at least some characters being more than 1 byte long. Supplying the correct decoding of these strings would also help in order to make sure that we get the code right.
