I'd like a utility that acts kind of like
But instead of mixing in the ASCII with everything else, I'd like it to only print the ASCII.
It could have a bit of intelligence, only considering something to be ASCII if it's part of a sequence that contains at least two alphanumeric ASCII characters.
Then I would like it to insert line breaks between each sequence when it outputs it.
I'd like this utility so that I can easily find all the ASCII strings any file contains (specially, I'd like to see what strings a .mpg contains and what a .dll contains - I'm trying to find a way of determining what codecs the .dll file recognizes, and I'm hoping that it involves some ASCII strings.)
Code:
hexdump -c
