A file text scanner, find names strings easy in bin files
A small, very fast and powerful text extractor that will be of particular interest to programmers. It can extract text from any kind of file and includes the ability to find plain ASCII text, Unicode (double byte ANSI) text and Resource strings, providing useful information for each item in the optional "advanced" view mode. Its comprehensive filtering helps prevent unwanted text being listed. The gathered list can be searched and saved to a separate file as either a plain text file or in informative tabular format.
Enter a filename in the filename box or use the "Browse" button to select a file and click the "Go" button to begin the scan. Alternately you can drag and drop a file anywhere on the window.
Only text determined by the Filter page will be shown.
There are two viewing options for the text that was found in the requested file; advanced view and normal view. Advanced view (shown when the "Advanced view" box is checked) will show details such as the file position of each string together with extra technical information (see below). Normal view (shown when the "Advanced view" box is cleared) will show the recovered text in a traditional text editor style view with each string separated by a space character.
Clicking the "Find" button searches for text (case insensitive) in the list. Items will be highlighted. Click again to find the next occurrence.
Clicking the "Save" button saves the entire list to a file. If you are viewing the results in advanced mode then the strings will be saved in a text list much like the one on display. If you are not viewing in advanced mode the list will be saved in a standard text file format with each string on its own line.
ADVANCED VIEW DETAILS
The type of string will be shown using a colored letter to the left of the list. ANSI strings will show a green "A", Unicode strings (double byte ANSI) will have a red "U" and resource strings have a blue "R".
Clicking any of the column headers after a scan will sort the list by that column, alternating between ascending and descending whenever you click.
"File pos"
This is the HEX position in the file at which the text is located.
"Mem pos"
If the file is a Win32 PE file (e.g. Win95 EXEs and DLLs) then this is the HEX address at which the text is referred to in memory at runtime as determined by it's sections table.
"ID"
The decimal string resource ID or 0 if it is not a resource string.
