[Bug binutils/17113] New: Option to show whitespaces between textblocks
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17113 Bug ID: 17113 Summary: Option to show whitespaces between textblocks Product: binutils Version: 2.24 Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: binutils Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org Reporter: sworddragon2 at aol dot com For example if I'm searching my disk with the strings command all textfiles will be shown without newlines because they are no printable characters. In this case it would be useful (for example for recovery reasons) to have an option that shows all non-printable text-chacacters only if they are between printable characters. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ bug-binutils mailing list bug-binutils@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-binutils
[Bug binutils/17114] New: Option to choose the range for the strings command
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17114 Bug ID: 17114 Summary: Option to choose the range for the strings command Product: binutils Version: 2.24 Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: binutils Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org Reporter: sworddragon2 at aol dot com The command strings has the option -t to show the position of the located strings. Maybe there could also be an option to seek to an offset and optionally to stop at another offset. For example this could be useful on searching a disk and telling it should begin the search at 20 GiB and end at 30 GiB. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ bug-binutils mailing list bug-binutils@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-binutils
[Bug binutils/17113] Option to show whitespaces between textblocks
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17113 --- Comment #2 from sworddragon2 at aol dot com --- > That sounds a bit too complex. For example, how many non-printable characters > should be displayed ? All whitespaces from the first printable character until the next printable character but only if there is no binary character in the way (a character that strings would not show). The idea is that this option would normally show all whitespaces within text files/occurences but no whitespaces within "binary garbage". This would show whitespaces there they are likely to be wanted and suppress whitespaces there they are normally not useful. > The strings command has been recently enhanced however so that it will > now display all whitespace characters, including new-lines, if the > --include-all-whitespace option is used. Perhaps this will help you ? This sounds useful too and I will test it if this version is available on my distribution. But what do you think of my idea? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ bug-binutils mailing list bug-binutils@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-binutils
