Hi,

I was working with the FILE(STRINGS filename lineList) and i discovered that i 
end up getting a list which has a lesser number of strings than the actual 
lines in the file. However this happens with only some files, i went through 
those but they seem to be regular files. When i count the no of new lines in 
the files i get the correct no of lines for the file.

This has led me to believe that the FILE strings command is at fault somehow. 
How does it work?

Cheers!
Johny
Just an idea, but do these files contain mixed line endings (i.e. some lines 
end on \n, others on \r\n)?

Michael
nope i checked for that too. Its not the case

Cheers!
Johny
